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?
