Flex 3 - My Mouse cursor keeps freezing!!!

Issue just started this morning. There is small mouse cursor inside a shadowy box that remains on the screen. I can use the mouse but it will dissappear and is slow. I saw a solution for another lenovo laptop running Windows 8 but nothing for a Flex 2 running Windows 10.

Hi there,

My mouse cursor freezes once every ~30s for about 1~2s. It doesn't happen all the time, but I suspect it might happen because of the usage of postgreSQL, as I've seen 2 other people with the same problem who also used it.

I have tested another mouse, the problem persists. I've tried updating mouse/USB drivers as well, nothing helped.

My trackpad, however, doesn't stop working at any time.
Any ideas?

Thanks.
 

It seems like every 10-20 seconds, my cursor freezes in one spot for a split second, then it's fine. It's so repetitive, it's a nuisance and I can't finish up work I have to do on the computer. I'm really not sure what it is...switched USB ports three different times (USB laser mouse), so I'm clueless.

Here's my log:

Hi i have just sorted the rest of my errors out on my PC and done a clean install on windows. Installed all windows updates and my new motherboard drivers but i have this really annoying thing that keeps on happening. One the mouse freezes after 5 minutes of boot after i have just loaded Firefox and then my system freezes or if that doesn't happen my mouse freezes for a couple of seconds and then it starts changing icons and freezes and disappear. The only thing i am doing while this happening is browsing Firefox and using remote desktop and using word press to post on my website. I have tried reinstalling the drivers for the mouse and looked for any yellow simple in device management but there is none what can it be is my mouse failing please help.

Since the issue I'm having is roughly equivalent to Windows itself hanging, I figured this would be the best place.
What is happening is that Windows freezes and I can't interact with anything on the screen. CTRL-ALT-DEL and CTRL-SHFT-ESC methods to try to bring up the task manager do not work. I am, however, able to move the mouse when this is happening, but cannot interact with anything. The only thing that returns my system to normal is a hard boot . Over a 2 week period, it has happened at an increasing rate, but my system has run completely stable for something like 5-6 years now. I formatted and reinstalled windows in hopes of a fix, but it's still happening.

OS - Win7 64bit
? What was the original installed OS on the system?-Win7 64bit

? Approximate age of system (hardware)-5-6 years
? Approximate age of OS installation (if you know)-a few days
? Have you re-installed the OS? -Yes

Hi,
I have windows vista.
A couple of weeks ago someone on here assisted me with my computer. I had search engine redirect, along with other problems.
It was okay for awhile but then all of a sudden it started working very badly now. One thing is norton 360 seemed to disappear from my computer. I got directions and uninstalled norton and then reinstalled it again, now the norton seems to be working okay.
But since then, the mouse cursor has been moving erratically, totally disappearing and freezing up the whole screen. The screen keeps flashing to blank screens or my previous screen for a few seconds and then coming back to the screen I am on. It is having problems restarting alot of times and sometimes I can not even do anything before it freezes. I have started it in safe mode with networking and still seemed to have the same problems. The mouse pointer was still moving erratically and not working well. Just in the time that I have typed this so far the screen has flashed to a previous screen 4 times.
I have run norton scans and I dont think it is finding to much but tracking cookies.
Any other help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Kim

Ok, I just put this computer together for my mother in law and it's been randomly freezing, usually with a black screen and an oversized mouse cursor arrow. Once it had like 4 mouse cursor arrows.
This is what the even viewer says;
The Monitor Image service terminated with the following error:
A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

Google has been no help at all.
I think I may need update the video drivers but I'm not sure. I've been trying to download them since early this morning but the computer crashes before I can.
 

I have a Windows 7 multi-touch device and every time i touch the screen i get a mouse graphic. Its really annoying
because it has a tendency to get in the way when i am tapping around with my fingers on the screen. can i remove and have only cursor arrow without mouse. i know there is a option but i need only cursor arrow. is it possible with any registry edit option.

1. Optical USB mouse won't move the cursor.
2. Mouse buttons function properly
3. Bought a new similar mouse, same problem, ruling out damaged mouse likelihood.

4. Have tried multiple USB slots. Have tried rebooting. Have tried uninstalling the driver and rebooting.
5. Saw somewhere to remove battery but I'm in a hotel and have no screwdriver to do so.

Really need to fix this as my shoulder is becoming inflamed reaching to the mousepad. Help?

Hi,
my mouse cursor- an optical usb - is stuck in the middle of the screen. The mouse works, as I can still scroll on a webpage with it, and click on icons, but the cursor won't budge. I've also tried a PS-2 mouse, same issue, and have tested every USB port and all work fine so it is NOT a hardware issue that I can see. I've tried rebooting and doing a system restore, and I have the same issue in safe mode. When I go to device manager, it rcognizes the device and says everything is working properly. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, nothing. Everything else seems to be fine on my PC. Any help will be most appreciated, thank you!

Hello! So I've been having this issue where my laptop keeps freezing an hour or so into using it. I've checked my storage space and my ram and it's all ok. My laptop isn't overheating either as I have a table with a fan built in underneath. I'm not sure what's causing the problem. I can move my mouse and my music still works but my screen is frozen. I'm also unable to alt tab or use ctrl alt del. I've resorted to having to power reset everytime my laptop fails.  Please advise me on what to do and thank you very much!

Hi I'm having a problem that I really can't seem to resolve: the image of my cursor freezes about 5 seconds after I log in, but the actual pointer still works i.e. I can still use the mouse, it's just that the cursor doesn't correspond to what I'm actually pointing at. At first this occurred randomly, sometimes after 25-30 mins of use, but now it does it every time, straight away.

One way I've found to get around it is to turn on mouse trails at the lowest setting, this lets me see the trails of the cursor (at the correct location), which at least lets me know what I'm clicking on.

I've tried:
Removing and reinstalling the drivers
Trying a different (ps/2) mouse
Trying a different USB port
Removing spyware etc with Spybot, AVG
Updating to the latest drivers
Updating Windows (which is when it changed from being random to every time)

Any ideas on this one?
Thanks in advance! James
 

Hi Guys, so I've just finished a HTPC build and using HippoRemote on the iPhone to control Windows. Works great if I have a mouse plugged in but as soon as I remove the mouse the cursor hides itself. I can still click on things etc but it makes it pretty hard to do without the cursor being visible.

Is there a way to force Windows 8 to always show the cursor? I'm guessing it disables the cursor if no mouse is plugged in so one option is to buy a wireless mouse dongle and plug that in to trick Windows into thinking I am using a mouse, but I'd rather not if I don't have to.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Chris

The following is a problem other people on here have experienced, but in most cases no solution was found and the solutions I have found on google do not apply to my case - at least not without tweaks. I am pretty sure I will need someone with extensive knowledge about drivers or the windows registry in order to ever be able to fix this myself. Unless of course Lenovo/ALPS decide to take responsibility for their hardware design.If you can help me, thank you tons. I love every other part of my new notebook, and if imprecise mouse movement would end up screwing with my experience on it forever, that would be a pity. The issue I have is that my/the Flex 2-15 20405 has a touch pad where the keys are part of the motion-sensitive touchpad surface. Gliding the finger over them will move the cursor. The obvious reason why this is problematic is that the cursor moving while clicking causes the clicks either to miss, or to hit something that the cursor did not originally rest on when the button was meant to be pressed. Meanwhile, the ability of moving the cursor *on my buttons* serves absolutly no purpose whatsoever to me.[Sidenote: I think Alps aleady did their part to start making the problem less of an issue. If all gestures are deactivated, and my index finger is resting where it moved the cursor, then I can use my thumb to press the buttons without causing any movement, because the finger above the keys takes priority in controlling the cursor. That is pre... Read more

Hi Everyone, I just got the FLEX 3 brand new from work and it automatically updated today  to the Anniversay Update. After about an hour update, once restarted, my mouse and keyboard has a very noticeable lag. It's horrible! Why is a brand new laptop lagging? Any ideas on how I can get rid of this lag? Thank you in advance! Darwin

I have a Flex 3-1470 Laptop (Lenovo) Machine Type Model80JK0021US and a Lenovo Laser Wireless Mouse (0A36188), occasionally my left click will be ignored.  My drivers are up to date, and I have tried the mouse on other computers with no problem.  Any ideas?

Hello,
Well i like to play alot of first person shooter games and have not had this problem till now.Recently i downloaded this multiplayer game called Global operations public beta.It had it problems and they released a patch for it,i downloaded it,installed it,and then is when the problem started.I thought it was just the game itself,I would be playing normally then my mouse would either totally stop or it would get really......really......REALLY......s l o... w,the other movements work on my keyboard still,to move backward and forward.
At this point it is unplayable so i leave the game and when i get to my desktop the cursor is still stuck(or slow).I have to use the keyboard to reboot.Then the other day i got sick of it and went to play another game that i didnt have problems with before and it did in this game now!So i tried 2 more games(that i never had any big problems with)and sure enough...it was doing it on these games now TOO!!!.Also somtimes just surfing the net it does it,but not as fast as when im playing a game.If anybody can help me with this problem I would really appreciate it,Maybe the patch has somthing to do with it!?? THX.
 

I recently upgraded my computer by adding a PIII 800 processor, 256 megs of RAM and an Intel D815EEA2 motherboard. I also own a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer. Anyway, after the upgrade I've encountered a problem with the mouse when I'm using the internet. Sometimes it takes an hour or two, other times it happens within minutes, but the mouse cursor always freezes in place and the internet stops transmitting information. It doesn't really disconnect, it still says I'm connected but the incoming and outgoing bytes remain static. The mouse still works and I can move it around and click on things, but the cursor is stationary. In fact, as I was writing this it happened and I had to save this on notepad and restart the computer.

I've tried updating my drivers and changing my mouse from the pin connector to USB but neither worked. I uninstalled my modem and changed my BIOS PnP settings to "no" as described here: http://forums.techguy.org/showthread.php?threadid=31021 but nothing worked.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


 

My laptop will unexpectly move the mouse to the upper right hand corner. It will also occasionally open up the action center window or settings windows. It also sometime dims the display. This has been very frustrating. I have tried a lot of recommendations online but nothing appears to work. Also while it is doing this I notice circles on the right had side of the display that come and go. It is almost like someone is controlling my laptop.  

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong area.

I have a new HP Pavillon Laptop. The cursor keeps freezing and I can't do anything. I have to shut the computer off physically.
I know this is not good for the computer.

I use a touchpad. I cannot say when it freezes, it just does it randomly and at least once a day.

Any ideas?
 

When I get on the internet then sometimes before it has loaded then the cursor will freeze and I have to restart the conputer all over again It is intermediant that it doesn't do it all the time. It almost never freezes when playing games. What causes this and how can I fix it. Thanks Red-
