Mouse "Freeze" in Unigraphics

[MSeelig]

I just started using UG NX2 on a Dell M60. While I am impressed with the power of this machine, I am puzzled by a "quirk" that didn't happen before. My mouse will freeze up and I end up having to unplug the mouse and plug it back in to "unfreeze" it.

This occurs almost exclusively while in Sketcher and while using a tool that attaches a dynamic dialog box to the cursor. My first thought was a graphics card issue.

When I asked my IT person about it, they checked into it and replied that while NX2 has been validated on the M60, it has not been validated with a USB optical mouse (?!?!?!) and was not able to find out any known issues.

Here is my config information:

Software: Unigraphics NX 2.0.4.2
Computer: Dell Latitude M60, with port replicator
RAM: 1.0 GB
Graphics: NVIDIA Quadro FX Go700, Driver v4.4.2.4
Disk Space: 55.8Gb / 32.2Gb Free
Processor: Intel Pentium M, 1.70 GHz
O / S: Windows XP Proffesional, v2002 SP1
Mouse: 5-Button, Scroll Optical Mouse
Alps Touch Pad
Labtec Spaceball 4000FLX

Any help would be appreciated!

You can hide the dynamic box with F3.
see thread561-99616
That may help you out in preventing the freeze.
