computer locks up frequently, indicated by flashing dialog box if open and
the mouse pointer will freeze in place. I initially thought the Mouse was
causing the problem, but now I am not sure. I have verified that the proper

> nt of clarification, the obvious problem is the Mouse Point will not move
causing me to Restart the computer.
