No, such things hardly ever are caused by Microsoft' stuff (whatever you mean with "ca"). It's either a hardware issue, or caused by non-Microsoft software.

- Is it the mouse pointer that's floating or the mouse itself?
- Windows doesn't have tabs. Some programs do. What program are you talking about that freezes when the mouse starts floating?
- Freezing is quite something else than crashing. What exactly happens?
