I've uninstalled my NVIDIA 81.95 drivers and it fixed the frozen mouse pointer problem, but this obviously isn't a long term solution.<br /> <br /> Does anyone know if there is a previous version of the NVIDIA drivers out there that doesn't cause this problem?<br /> <br /> text/html 2006-02-19T09:26:51-05:00 Steve Nock http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/54930/?l=1#384966 I too now have the same problem. It's very frustrating. I have a new EVGA 7800GT card, and I still have this problem whether I have the original drivers from the cd installed, or the updated drivers from the site.
