Freezing Cursor?

Question

Or evil computer? My cursor suddenly locks up on the screen (freezes), and then will move again once I hit ALT+CTRL+DELETE (at same time)... which doing so, brings up the task window - then I cancel the task window, aaaannnd the cursor moves again. It's driving me nuts! o.O

Any clue what could be causing it, how to fix it, where to buy Holy Water for a possesed mouse ? I'm open for all suggestions.

I've cleared the cache, did the 'compress old disc files' thing, cleared the history, cleared the cookies, and defragged it.. *le`sigh* none of it's helped. Could a virus cause this?

(No, it's not a wireless mouse either, or a lap top)

Thanks in advance darlings *virtual hug*

Your mouse needs to be cleaned. Turn it over, open it up and remove all the dirt in there with a lint-freecloth. Don't use rubbing alcohol on any part of the insides, it will dry up the rubber. Do't use soap and water either. Just the lint-free cloth. If you eat at your computer, I'll bet that there may be more than a few crumbs and dust collected from your mouse pad and desk. Gently clean the inside, replace the parts where they came from, close it up and I'll bet you will be back in business.

Is it a instantaneous or cable mouse ? If instantaneous is the battery ok . If cable may have were given a foul connection contained in the plug , Is there someone you are able to borrow a cable mouse from and plug in ?? If it incredibly works yours is clapped in a roundabout way , no longer that expensive to purchase a sparkling one ,
