[G4] Freezing Mouse

[Daniel Brieck]

Gary,

Your mouses optical sensor may be breaking causing the freezing cursor 
problem. I had a problem with my MS Intelli mouse it was randomly 
double click when clicked once. This problem occurred about after two 
years. The good news is that if you call Microsoft about the product it 
is probably still under warrantee and they will undoubtedly    send you 
a brand new mouse.  All I did was call the tech-support number in the 
box and told them my problem and they basically sent out a new mouse in 
two days...
