Interesting! I have similar occurances with a scrolling mouse. But I
don't use FP. My problems occured in netscape. And it seems the
pointer is in the same state and position you mention.
I don't get a real GPF. I just lock - mouse and keyboard. I beleve its
the video card which can't handle the custom pointer. Heres why:
Last year or two I bought a Hercules Thriller 4meg card. Nothing
unusual. I had a standard mouse at the time. But I started geting
lockups like these. As I am moving the pointer usually near the title
bar. I saw a FAQ on Hercules site which said lockups would occur if
you are using a custom pointer. So I switched to standard pointer. (in
control panel/mouse/pointer/scheme) And no more problem. Now I have
the problem again with the scrolling mouse when the pointer changes to
scroll.
Whats the video card? Chip?
