MS Wireless mouse cursor freeze in XP

I was getting a random freeze cursor 2 or 3 times a week for a month and a reboot might solve the problem. Yesterday, cursor freeze happened and a restart had no effect. I changed the battery, no change. I replaced the mouse and receiver with one another; no change. I rebooted in Safe Mode; no change. In safe mode, I activated Avast and have a full scan; completely clean except that he told me that he could not access some files. (???) I am not able to select Start scan from Avast because I can't select it due to a frozen mouse. I also checked settings hardware for USB mouse and made sure it was allowed. ; no change.

I didn't notice if there is a particular application that caused 10-12 freezes last month; I don't think that's the problem. And last week I perform a full scan and a week before a boot scan. the two returned without problems. I am running in XP Pro SP3 on a desktop processor Intel Dual who otherwise worked perfectly for months.

Content of thread:

My XP SP3 system does not meet a PS2 Mouse or either of two wireless USB mice. I can get to the window of the hardware system, but I need to be able to move the mouse around the screen, so I choose option or file boxes to remove mouse drivers and re - install.  I watched keyboard command lists and none seem to say how to move the cursor by a few (or a few hundred) pixels; only "end of a line, etc...  Is there some these combo keys that allow moving the slider of distances involved to # essential features or the period of ownership of the keys?

Hello

Yes, I already had all these checks and found no problem.

I just installed a PS2 Mouse and now my cursor MOVES!  But I decided to do a rootkit virus scan before anything else (AVAST).  It may take a few hours to complete then I won't be able to do any further testing until tonight...

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Mouse cursor freezes

    My mouse cursor keeps freezing upwards when I opened my computer, when he was asleep. To restart, I have to shut down the computer, then open it back up again. This has happened for the last couple of days and just started all of a sudden. What happens and why this phenomenon occurs? I have to consider if he looked somewhere? Thank you!

    Hi hill8302,

    Please visit Apple support communities.

  • HP wireless mouse keeps freezing

    Hello everyone.

    I have my mouse HP a while now.

    But sometimes, it keeps hanging and freezing.

    Sometimes, it turns out even.

    I tried to change my batteries with new ones, and it worked for a few weeks.

    I don't want to use new batteries just because of this.

    I got a picture for my setup show that I am on a flat surface, no speaker is close (don't have them at all).

    I couldn't find the serial number of the mouse, but I don't have the model number and a photo.

    I play games from time to time, and as soon as I click the mouse hangs and stops just for a second.

    It's really bothering me and I hope I can do something.

    Should I buy a new mouse, or is - this solveable?

    I don't have pictures of my installation (just a laptop with the mouse without a wire next to it) but I found a picture of the mouse.

    The model number is MG-0982

    Hello YannickGD

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that the wireless mouse is not working properly. According to what you have described, it seems that his material is a failure. If it is under warranty, I would contact HP to be replaced. Alternatively, you can simply buy another.

    Thank you for choosing the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • The mouse cursor freezes, Silverlight Plugin, Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    When activated, the plugin Silverlight 4 freezes my cursor of the mouse on the web pages with Silverlight. Disabling Silverlight plugin restores the function of the mouse cursor, but disables display Silverlight content. Occurs with the latest versions of Firefox and IE. The PS2 and USB Wacom input Tablet mouse freeze. Keyboard PS2 remains active, except the "Mouse keys" used in the cursor. Must press 'Back' key to get the silverlight content web page up the function of mouse cursor. Update drivers Wacom and drivers MS Intellimouse Optical. Uninstalled and reinstalled the Silverlight 4. Problem remains.

    Platform: MS Win 7 Pro 64-bit. All updates current. Material: Card mother Asus P6T, Core i7 930 CPU, 10 GB of RAM. Security through Zonealarm Extreme Security Suite with active Forcefield. No problem on my PC with Win XP Pro 32-bit.

    I can't determine if it's a bug with Silverlight/Win 7 64 bit or a problem with my computer/hardware. I don't have problems with my mouse cursor otherwise. The research of this question gave no solution. Suggestions to solve this problem would be appreciated.

    Hi DelgadoFlash,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. the problem persists both 32 and 64 bit browser explore?

    This can happen if you haveWacom Graphire Tablet input connected to the computer.

    You must disable Tablet PC Input Service in the Service Manager and check if the problem persists.

    (a) click Start menu and type services.msc in the search box and press enter

    (b) later in the list of services, locate Tablet PC input service.

    (c) make a right click on it and click Properties, set the Startup Type to disabled and press the Stop button.

    (d) close the services window

    After disabling the service above you won't be able to use the device.

    As a work plug the appliance only when you need to use.

    Rename an executable file calledWISPTIS.exe in the C:\Windows\syswow64 directory to something likeWISPTIS_old.exe.

    WoW64 is synonymous with "Windows on Windows 64-bit", and it contains all the files of 32-bitbinary required for compatibility.

    If the above step works, then you will need to contact Wacom to check if they have released an update on this issue.

    I hope this helps!

  • Wireless mouse cursor will blink and become useless

    Original title: problems with mouse cursors

    System: Windows XP, Compaq Presario 2100

    I prefer to use an external USB mouse. "Compatible USB and PS2 optical mouse wheel".

    PID: 56180-576-9149431-3 PIN: X 08-71118

    It works very well with my runing newest laptop Windows 7 and sometimes on the Compaq (as well as the mousepad). However, sometimes without apparent reason, the cursor flashes on and for most offshore, do any worthless pointing device.  I tried to review the settings of control panel device (withdifficulty) and everything seems fine. I also tried several different mouse; same result.

    I get a stable cursor to initialize to top, only up to the point where I select the user account to connect to. The pointing device then develops its own behavior.

    Any ideas?

    -Dan

    Well, you can try this:

    Go in start.

    Right-click Workstation,

    Then click on System Properties.

    It should open a window, click the hardware tab.

    Then click on the Device Manager button.

    Expand mice and other pointing devices section,

    Find your mouse, then right-click on it and click Uninstall.

    Restart your computer.

    When you log on to Windows, this should start automatically install the device software. Once it's done

    the mouse should work fine, without flicker.

  • do not move the mouse cursor

    Hi all. today I did something really stupid. I was in a chatroom without supervision earlier and another person and I'm in it and I could tell definently I makes him angry. I left the chat room and 15 minutes later im on another site and the cursor of the mouse is suddenly freezes and does not scroll on the page. everything else seems to work very well. so I restarted the computer, the mouse works when the windows password page appears, so I type the password and then loading this page and the home page comes (one with all programs, etc.) and appears as soon as that is when the mouse cursor freezes and not scroll or move. everything else continues to load and seems to work very well. If I restart the computer and put it in safe mode and the mouse works moves very well and everything. Anyway, the bottom line is I think the other person sent me a virus or something that is used to pass my cursor in normal mode. What should I do? also, I can't get the sound to work on my computer in safe mode. says low right volume icon ' audio service does not "and I want it running in safe mode, until I can get this cursor problem is resolved. any help is greatly appreciated and please explain in terms laymans, because I don't know anything about computers. Thank you very much for your time and have a great day.

    Hi crazyforfrance,
     
    As the mouse works properly in safe mode I suggest you try troubleshooting this issue with a clean boot to see if we can identify a program or driver causing the problem you are experiencing.
     
    A clean boot to start Windows with some programs and drivers off or on selection. By doing this through trials and errors we can hopefully identify a specific cause of this problem. Here's how to solve problems with a clean boot:
     
    Clean clean boot.
     
    a. Click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
    The user account control permission.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type
    password, or click on continue.
    b. on the general tab, click Selective startup.
    c. under Selective startup, click to clear the load startup items.
    d. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box and then click Disable all.
    e. click OK.
    f. When you are prompted, click on restart.
    g. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.
     
    If the problem is resolved, make sure what third-party program is at the origin of the problem, referring to the link given below:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
     
    Reset the computer to start as usual.

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
    Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue. On the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.
    When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.
     
    Note: In safe mode you may not be able to hear the sound because the sound drivers and other drivers may not load and only essential drivers can handle, which are very important to run an operating system. and it's a way of diagonistic.

    Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • Microsoft wireless mouse stopped after 6 months of work: happened twice in two days

    Windows 7 x 64. I've had the system for 6 months. Yesterday did this problem start happening.
    The Microsoft wireless mouse pointer freezes in the middle of the screen (but my wireless keyboard IOGear, that I had also six months, still works fine and the computer itself is not suspended but is still running fine - it's not a blocking system general but isolated on the mouse wireless device and related things).
    I tried the following:
    1. Changing the battery on the mouse (ensuring battery was good, of course).
    2. People with disabilities/re-enabled the HID device.
    3. Deleted then recreated the HID device.
    4. Searched updated drivers (Windows reports mine are up to date)
    5. Remove and reinsert the battery.
    6. Stop and restart.
    7. Remove and reinsert the battery.
    Finally yesterday, after reinserting the battery after a reboot, the mouse is back to life. However, today the same problem happened again. I tried it again, but nothing helped. I also downloaded the new Bluetooth drivers on the ASUS site and install them.  Restarted.  No joy.
    BTW, Windows always reports the pointing HID device and Microsoft Wireless dongle work correctly, even if the mouse pointer is frozen in the middle of the screen.
