Hi Lee! I think you are right and the rest are wrong. I do think it
is software hogging up the CPU as you previously thought. And both
McAfee and Norton can very well do this as well. Although one thing
to add about optical mice. Most don't work well on a shinny surface.
A mouse pad or something should rule that one out though.

Hi Bill

Thanks for the come back! I know the blue ring shows that something
is running but was not positive and since I use Vista it is somewhat
new to me! Just wanted to be sure so as each made a suggestion I
wrote if off after checking it and I did have my op mouse on white
paper and on a red mouse pad and a gray one so I think I have
eliminated most everything. I guess it is what I will have to live
with or up the memory to 8 gigs. Right now I think I can live with
it. After Norton for a few years McAfee has been great but they added
so much to it I think that it is taking up a lot of memory. Every
time I turn around it pops up with something changing registry
settings ie Internet Explorer etc. Thanks again!

Hi Lee. Open up the Task Manager. There you can see what the CPU usage is
at. Also if it is high, you can check out Processes (tab) to see what it is.

Of late I have noticed a delay in the movement with my cursor.
Sometimes it just sits there even though I am moving the mouse all
over the place and then you will see the indicator that it is getting
ready to move (O blue in color rotating) and it will move. Is there
any fixes or is this normal?

I have a Gateway DX430X with 4 gigs of memory and VISTA, it does not
seem to matter if I have a lot going on or even doing this newsgroup.

I have a similar problem with my 6-year old WinXP Pro desktop with the original
Logitech optical mouse. The mouse pointer freezes frequently. Then the USB
connect "Bong sound" is heard...followed by the Bbong" disconnect sound. It does
this irrespective of which program I'm using. I tried moving the mouse USB
connector to another one. There are no other USB devices connected. Where's
a good place to start diagnosing this problem?

Thanks!

Sounds like it is time for a new mouse Scott! If it uses replaceable
rechargeable batteries, you can try replacing it.
