cursor frozen

[armstrong819]

I am using Windows XP Professional. The desktop appears with all the icons
loaded and the mouse (cursor) is frozen in the middle of the screen. Nothing
that I do will un-freeze the cursor: safe mode, last known good
configuration, all the ctrl, alt, esc, tab, will do nothing. How does one
get the cursor to move/un-freeze?

Is this happening in Outlook or the Windows desktop? If Windows, then post to a Windows group for assistance. This is not a Windows group.

This has nothing to do with Outlook; either your mouse is not working
anymore, not properly connected, or the device driver has an error.

If you need more help, try one of the Windows newsgroups, e.g.

Hi, did you ever resolve this issue? (if so how?) I'm having the same problem
and it is related to my HP deskjet printer. Good luck.
