Something I've found that causes problems with mice and multitasking is 
moving the mouse too fast across the pad. Doesn't seem to matter what or how 
many programs are currently running. I think theres maybe 20 running at all 
times. Sometimes if I move the mouse a bit faster than normal, a twitch can 
do it, the machine will lock in whatever program is last to run. Funny thing 
about multitasking, I was D/L'ing and killing time with a game. The game 
locked and the d/l continued. Actually picked up speed after the game 
locked. I have no idea which part of the OS causes this, it's mostly just 
annoying at times. Seldom fatal Less it happens to the term program while 
d/l'ing, then it's a reboot and start from where it locked. 
Is this hardare or software causing it ?
