Title: only when i move my mouse.
Post by: nyernga on July 04, 2010, 07:15:00 PM

Very odd problem here. It just started this morning and has been sporadic.  When I am watching a video or I click on a button such as "new topic" on this site my computer seems to come to a complete stop until I move my mouse. Video's will stop and on a link, the progress bar doesn't move until I again, move my mouse.

Any ideas?

Have you restarted the computer yet?

I did that when I first noticed the problem and it seemed to work for a while. I did it again after posting this and so far it hasn't returned. Any idea what's causing it?

Boot to safe mode and see if you have the same problem

Well so far today it hasn't happened again. I did run my norton anti virus so maybe that cleared it up. I'd just never seen something like this happen before.  Once again, CH comes through............ :)
