scuzzman Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Sounds like your system is "thrashing" alot and this will likely need to be remedied by adding RAM. Just to be sure, could you please post a HijackThis log so it can be analyzed by our experts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you are not infected with anything? If not, please download/install/run HijackThis, and post the result in this forum. Instructions for HijackThis can be found here.Ah, scuzzman is obviously typing faster than me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Also, can you check how much free space your disk has? You can right click the drive in my computer and it should show free space. If you are low on space, it could take longer to access information, and therefore cause your mouse to hang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeddaLora Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 You might try some basic maintenance. Here's a little checklist:-- Delete all temp files (c:\windows\temp\*.tmp, or on XP C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp)-- Delete temporary internet files (c:\windows\temporary internet files\*.*, or on XP C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files)-- If you use I.E., click on Tools, Internet Options, Delete Files, select "delete all off-line content", click OK-- Click on Start, Programs, Accessories, Systems Tools, Disk Cleanup-- Download AdAware, check for updates, run it and remove whatever it finds-- Periodically empty the browser cache and the java plug-in cache-- Download Diskeeper and defrag-- Download, update and turn on SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard (or your spyware removal tool of choice).
