I have recently had a new motherboard installed and am now getting intermittent problems with the video display of the mouse pointer. The mouse is stll functioning (you can click on various areas of the screen when you move the mouse about) but you cannot see what you are "pointing" at as the mouse pointer is frozen on the screen. I have tried a new mouse, updated the mouse drivers, etc. but believe it is a video display problem rather than a mouse problem. Any ideas of what else to do? Any suggestions?

You're right of course. Reinstall the video drivers from start>control>system>diaplay adapters. Go into the BIOS and Disable Video bios shadow. Set all resources to "controlled by O/S" and set pnp o/s to "YES"

This maybe worth a try: Go to My Computer, right click then choose Properties/Performance/Graphics. Set the Hardware Acceleration down one notch from Full. Derek

Thanks Derek but I tried that too! I am down to the last notch before "nothing"!! And it still keeps happening.

if a new motherboard was installed and a clean install of windows was not done this could be the cause of this problem. although there are ways to setup a computer after such an upgrade. The chance are good that there will be some bugs. Hardware driver Help if you go into the device manager in safe-mode. you could check if there is a double listing under display. and the check the system devices although some of those will have listings with the same name like Holder for PCI IRQ but if everything is double then this could be the root "as it were" of your problem. if you have another hard drive laying around you could try a test clean install. if this was a clean install well, then, nevermind -
