well like I said,I was speaking from personal experience with that same problem with 98 with 128 of ram as a matter of fact.

and I have to disagree,with the software and games of today,128 is not enough for ANY OS,IMHO.

ya, :D I remember when we thought we would never fill up 600mb hdd's also.

I still have a computer textbook that says "some day soon hard drives will reach 4 gigabytes!"

Hmmm, this sounds very familar... I had a Microsoft Intillimouse Explorer (one of the original ones) and after much use, it started freezing for no apparent reason. After much testing and messing around I found that the mouse had developed some sort of loose connection in the mouse cord near where it went into the mouse. If I wigged and moved the cord around I could cause it to freeze, or sometimes restore itself after it had frozen. Try doing that and see if it seems to be the source of the problem.

Ive just been through a batch of faulty optical mice under the brand of "keymouse". Went crazy trying to fix a similar problem to this one on the first machine it came up on, using all the lines of enquiry mentioned. The mouse had been fine for the first month or so, so I assumed it was a puter issue.
But then I got a few more calls about the same thing, all with keymouses on. Buttons would work on some, but no cursor action, or mouse would just freeze for no reason.
Faulty mouse - that was the only answer. Put on Samsung optical mouse - problem solved.

Thanks

I will try getting a new mouse then

Another mouse is a good idea, that should tell you right away whether it's a driver problem, temperature problem or whatever....

If your pc is a typical unbranded custom build, you should be able to get into the bios by pressing the Delete key during bootup. Once you're in you should be able to find your current CPU and motherboard temps.
