Why does my cursor freeze up?

Why does the cursor, or pointer, on my desktop computer freeze?

  • Answer:

    Most of the time I have this issue, my CPU is working 100% on something and doesn't have the cycles to spare for petty things like tracking the cursor. It's more common on systems with slow CPUs and/or too little RAM.

If it's an older mouse, with a ball inside, you may need to clean the small rollers inside. Use cotton swabs and alcohol.
