Just recently and seemingly without any cause my cursor will freeze on the screen and the arrow will not move. I can still click and drag and highlight items so the mouse itself is still working. But with the arrow frozen on the screen its next to impossible to practically do anything on the computer when the cursor won't move. I tried defragging the HD and running virus and spyware scans to no avail. Anyone have any ideas to fix this problem?

try turning off your puter and unplugging your mouse. Plug your mouse back in and turn puter on. I have learned that you want to shut off your psu power also and depress your power on button (before you unplug your mouse) to clear any electricity to your hardware.
