moregrey Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I'm having a really strange problem-- after an indeterminate time, my mouse freezes. The behavior seems to have started since I installed .Net 2.0 and Paint.NET. When I use Paint.NET for awhile, sometimes a minute, sometimes hours, my mouse will freeze. The mouse simply stops responding. I'm using a USB mouse plugged into my laptop, and the laptop's trackpad continues to move the cursor just fine. If I unplug the mouse, wait for the beep, then plug it back in, it will work again. For awhile. I'm having a really hard time believing Paint.NET could be causing this, but I haven't installed anything else on my laptop for months. I tried using a different mouse, same result. My laptop dual-boots into Ubuntu Linux, and the mouse has no problems there. I would really appreciate any suggestions on eliminating Paint.NET as a possible cause, and/or further troubleshooting suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 It's impossible that Paint.NET could cause this. What you're describing can only be done via a kernel driver (which neither Paint.NET nor .NET install), or hardware failure. My bet is on the latter.

moregrey Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 Thanks for confirming my suspicions. I'll turn my investigations to the hardware angle. And thanks for the quick reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
