For as short as a minute, the pointer freezes and takes 30 secs or so of movement to begin working again. During this time the scroll and click buttons continue to work, as does the keyboard and all other peripheral devices. Its just the pointer that freezes and fails to recognize movement. If not idle it works fine for extended periods of time.
Ive tried switching usb ports to no avail. Redownloaded the drivers for the mouse as well. Im at a loss as to where to even look for a solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
