This just started minutes ago, after a boot, but every time my mouse cursor changes, there is a total system pause of roughly 200-300msec. That's fine until you start editing text and after moving the mouse from one side of the screen to the other there's a five second wait. Any cures for this?

Have you rebooted your computer. It may sound obvious but it can solve a lot of problems!

Odd question but... Did you have a power surge or something that would stop the PC from protecting data before shutting off? Oh yeah and GET OUT OF MY GARDEN, unless you keep the bunnies away.

Uhhhhhhh.... I forgot

Things to try..

Take the ball out of the mouse and clean the crap off the rollers.

Have you isntalled anything else in your PC recently? It could be an IRQ conflict, genraly Plug&Play solves this but if your running out of IRQs you can go into you bios an kill something like parallel printer (if you print from USB) etc.

Ctrl + Alt + Del see if there is any processes running 100%

You might have a spyware/ mouse recorder running in the background. This is how they get bank details off people. Run spyware killers, and virus killers. There are also some virus killers at the moment which are not running how they should... Zone Alarm was doing something in the bacground on my computer, so I got rid of it. Or Norton, that can also cause problems like this.

Nope. The mouse still freezes. I don't think it's the mouse - it doesn't exactly know when it's changing image for loading, etc. It's probably one of the many problems that begin to appear 5 years into a computer's life. No spyware found by an up-to-date Spybot S&D.

Yes, you are running windows and the 'OS usefulness' timer has expired

The only thing I can think of is that you may have corrupted cursors, or the folder they are held in is corrupted. Try running a scandisk on your system to see if it detects any problems.
