Help: Mouse freezes when playing D3D games

Hello all:

I am having a problem. My mouse freezes when playing a Direct3D game. OpenGL games work fine. Here is my system:

Windows 98SE
DirectX 8.1
Athlon XP 1700
Geforce 3 Ti 200 (with Detonator 23.11 drivers)
Microsoft USB optical wheel mouse.

Does anyone have any hints as to the cause of this?

-thanks
 
My wife's computer would do this too in UT in D3D. The mouse would freeze, but the game kept running just fine. Only a reboot would get it working again. I moved it to a different USB header, not just the other port, and the problem went away.
 
I tried another header with no luck. My problem sounds exactly like yours.

I have reverted to Nvidia Driver version 21.83, and the problem is gone. That's OK, but the image quality with these drivers is awful!
