Question
Saturday, September 7, 2002 by WOM | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Does anyone know why my cursor would freeze up. I have to reboot to get it to move again. All that I have changed in my computer was add one stick of 256 memory. Its done that about 5 times today.

ok.. that happened to me once in a while when i inserted a cd and when it couldn't read it, it jus froze my cursor.. or it made it stop several times.. try opening and closing the cd rom drive.. if that doesn't work, try purchasing another ram and put it with the 256 that u already had.. it may have some problems with the 512 ram that u inserted
Hope my comment helps

Wise, are you running any mouse software. The reason I ask is that when I install the Intellimouse 4.01 drivers for my MS mouse I sometimes get the cursor freezing. If I don't install the drivers, and just use the generic XP drivers, I have no problems.
This is just one of those guesses you requested.

No motion, I'am using the XP drivers that came with XP. I took out the ram chip and everything returned to normal. I know the chip was good because I took it out of the wife's computer.

brazil- what's even more wierd, I just put in 3 512's in the wife's machine and she got the same problem. I took them out and put the 3 256's back in and everything was ok for her. That is strange.

Freakin who knows on this one.Sometimes the more I try to improve my computer the more backwards steps I take.I have no explanation for this.And,last night I tried my first Winstyles theme and DesktopX will now only load halfway then freezes.I can't fight it anymore.Goin back ta wallpapers-n-windowsblids fer a while.So I guess you got your machines back together??With less RAM??

Some motherboards have limitations as to how much ram they can handle. If you have the documentation, you might check that. Sometimes a bios update can fix it. "just a guess"
