Mouse cursor stops costantly for 1-3 second

Mouse cursor stops costantly for 1-3 seconds when page is loading. Firefox screen updates are also very slow. Prob. occured first time monday 14. Jan and didn't occ on friday.
WinXP Pro SP3, Logitech mouse, lenovo W500.
There is no such problem when using other programs and browsers like IE or Chrome.

Mouse lag occurs at page loading on my netbook, with gmail (loading less visible to make a link) and on pages with one tiny gif anim repeted multiple times.
CPU usage : 100% during several seconds
OS : XP SP2
FF : 18.0
No problems with FF 16.0, FF 17.0 not tested

When I compose an email in either gmail or yahoo, the cursor lags behind for about 2 seconds. This does not happen when I compose an email with Safari or Chrome. I am using a Mac with Firefox version 3.6.3. Any idea why this happens?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Iphone stops working for a few seconds then starts working again

ok so i have an Iphone 3gs. the digitizer was messed up so i switched it from another iphone i have. they are both 3gs. after a while my 3gs started to lagg completely. the screen freezes and i cant do anything for a couple seconds then it starts working fine again. this has started to happen a lot. when im playing music it suddenly stops playing for a couple seconds and continues. i tried rebooting it and it didnt work. could it be the software? or the hardware? i doubt that it could be the changing of the lcd screen since the iphone completely stops working. should i try a restore?

have you done a reset, hold down the home/poer button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up. see if that helps.

Firefox stops responding for about 30 seconds after hitting Enter on any website's search bar, even the built in Google search or when signing into Facebook.

As the title says, I run Firefox Beta 6 and just reinstalled Windows 7 Professional on my system due to seriously messed up Windows update, and when I downloaded and installed Firefox, I noticed every time I searched using the Google search next to the URL bar, FF would freeze for about 30 seconds to a minute, with nothing running in the background and no other programs running. I also disabled all Add-Ons and it still continues to act up, so that leads me to believe it's a FF issue, but even on every other website when using the search bar as soon as I hit enter, it locks up and stops responding then goes back to normal about 30 secs later, or if I sign into Facebook it does the same, and even when I had the FF 5 Beta before I had to reinstall I never had a problem.

I managed to solve this problem as my computer has been giving me problems lately and completely froze on me the other day thanks to Game Booster Beta 3 and completely screwed with Windows 7 to the point I almost had to reinstall again, but I managed to fix all my problems and if you would just follow my link here over to my post on Seven Forums then it would be easier then explaining it again.
http://www.sevenforums.com/system-security/180714-windows-7-professional-64-bit-logs-but-almost-frozen-3.html#post1550277 The reason for this is if you shut down your computer while running Firefox, it's possible you corrupted your User Profile for FF and if you follow my instructions you can repair it instead of making a new, so just follow the link, read my post and if you have anymore problems just message me on Seven Forums. Have a nice day and hopefully you get it all fixed. :b

Music app stops playing for a few seconds then starts

After updating to lollipop the music app would play for a few minutes then stops for a few seconds then play again, did not have issue with kitkat. Help please.

It's back!!!!!! The problem went away for a few days now same issue. It only happens when I am listening to sound files on the headphones - sudden pause then restart in the middle of playing the sound file, this happens with different music/podcase apps. No issue with bluetooth streaming or speaker phone. So it appears there is a software bug with Lollipop update - never had this problem with KitKat. Factory reset does not fix it. I wish there was a way to revert the phone back to KitKat. Hoping the new Lollipop update would fix this.

Get screenshot with mouse cursor and send for client application

I took
this function for getting a screenshot from a client application. I to tried adapt this function in my project, but I can not capture desktop showing mouse cursor (coming from a remote pc) in my server application (controller).
Here is my adaptation (in client side) but without success:
void SendScreenProc()
// Send First Bitmap
MemoryStream streamScreen = new MemoryStream();
this.bmpScreenSend = CaptureScreen(true);//new Bitmap(this.boundScreen.Width, this.boundScreen.Height, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(this.bmpScreenSend);
g.CopyFromScreen(0, 0, 0, 0, this.boundScreen.Size);
this.bmpScreenSend.Save(streamScreen, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
Compress.CompressStream(streamScreen);
Byte[] bufferScreen = streamScreen.ToArray();
mreSendData.WaitOne();
this.queueSendData.AddScreen(streamScreen.GetBuffer());
streamScreen.Close();
this.receivedScreen = 0;
while (this.remoted)
// Send next bitmap result by difference with previous bitmap.
if(this.receivedScreen == 0) {
} else {
Bitmap bmpCurrentScreen = CaptureScreen(true);//new Bitmap(this.boundScreen.Width, this.boundScreen.Height, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);
g = Graphics.FromImage(bmpCurrentScreen);
g.CopyFromScreen(0, 0, 0, 0, this.boundScreen.Size);
if (this.receivedScreen == 1) {
if(this.bmpScreen != null) {
this.bmpScreen.Dispose();
this.bmpScreen = this.bmpScreenSend;
} else if(this.receivedScreen == 2) {
if (queueSendData.AvailableScreenAdd && IsDifferent(bmpCurrentScreen, this.bmpScreen))
streamScreen = new MemoryStream();
Bitmap bmpDiff = XorBitmap(this.bmpScreen, bmpCurrentScreen);
bmpDiff.Save(streamScreen, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
this.bmpScreenSend.Dispose();
bmpDiff.Dispose();
this.bmpScreenSend = bmpCurrentScreen;
mreSendData.WaitOne();
this.queueSendData.AddScreen(streamScreen.GetBuffer());
streamScreen.Close();
this.receivedScreen = 0;
else
bmpCurrentScreen.Dispose();
Thread.Sleep(30);

Hi FlashCoder,
Do you mean like this capture? Use mouse cursor to capture the specified area.
If so, here is a sample that I wrote. It should meet your requirement. If not, please feel free to let me know.

MY MOUSE AND TYPING FREEZE FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS

I cannot move my mouse or type for mare than 1 or 2 seconds and it freezes for 5-10 seconds and then I can only move it again for 1 or 2 seconds. This is constant. I have run updates and repaired permissions. Still same problem. I am on an iMac 11.1, Intel Core i7

After updating to Mavericks, my macbook's keyboard and mouse randomly stops functioning for a brief period of time.

my keyboard and mouse will randomly stop functioning. i have to wait 20 seconds for functionality to return. please help.

Hi,
I'm exactly having the same problem as described above running on Boot Camp v2.1 as well as Parallels latest version. My macbook will just hang on itself and i had to press the power button to restart. Is there any fix to this?
Thanks.

The mouse pointer gets frozen for a few seconds after waking up from sleep mode

I have just noticed this recently and I have updated all my software but it is annoying to have to wait like 20 secs before it responds.

Me too. If I press the esc key, the pointer completely disappears from the screen and then reappears 20-30 seconds or more later. Very aggravating.

Mouse keeps stopping

hello I am not sure why but my mouse cursor keeps stopping for a part of a second every 10 seconds or so. I know this may not seem bad but it gets kind of annoying because I play a lot of games and when the cursor stops even for a split second it messes it up.
I am using macbook air. something interesting I found was it does NOT happen with the track pad, only with any mouse I try (tried Apple Magic Mouse (bluetooth), and 2 gaming mouses (usb) 1 wireless and 1 wired)

Thanks for your reply I just tried those one at a time. The first one did not seem to work but after the 2nd it appears good now! hopefully its just a 1 off problem
thanks a lot for your reply

My ipad 3 Bluetooth stops working for several seconds every few minutes

My ipad Bluetooth stops working for a few seconds every few minutes...very annoying. Any solutions?

firefox has become a somewhat of a pig. it is actually funny and i know this problem will soon be cured but.... here was this "anti-IE" thing that came out a while ago saying "we're the fastest browser in the world" and indeed they were. as a 13 year microsoft employee/veteran i was reluctant to try it, but try it i did. that was years ago. now all of a sudden here i am and for the past several months at least, firefox has been pausing every few seconds or so. it is totally annoying and has me researching the cause. i'm a techie/quite computer literate and know how to tweak and configure to get every last ounce of speed out of my system. let me tell you... firefox is no longer the fastest browser on the planet.... they have issues. why? they have a lot of code and maintaining a complex piece of software (they are finding) is not easy. BUT, the problem lies within firefox's code base... i've used the latest version of IE, safari and chrome and neither is suffering from the pausing problem.
how can you repro this problem? go to any webform (gmail, this forum, et al) and start typing... there will be an annoying pause every few seconds. while pausing, firefox pages out to disk, despite there being TONS of physical memory available... AND i have set my system to NO pagefile, yet firefox is paging...
or, go to a long webpage (e.g. ebay and set the search results to 200. then just use your cursor to scroll down the page) and you'll see the same problem.
hurry firefox... fix this annoying problem. i've been a happy and loyal FF user for at least 5 years

Adobe Reader 11.0.09 stops responding for 30 seconds after start

When starting AR 11 (either via it's Icon or via a .pdf document), AR starts normally but after a few seconds the interface freezes and stops responding for around 30 seconds. Logging the start-up with Process Monitor gives the output below (actually two instances, only one is shown). When the second instance times out (I'm guessing that is what's going on), AR11 starts responding again.
The whole problem disappears if the plugin Weblink.api is removed, with the unfortunate side effect that the Tools pane on the right also disapperas (replaced with a spinning Icon but AR11 is otherwise responding well).
The server that AR11 is installed on does not have any Internet access whatsoever. My guess is that AR11 is looking for the host above for some reason and need to time out before it is available for use. This is of course an extremely poor design and we wish to resolve it somehow.. Ideas anyone?

Solution found. By enabling a lockdown feature, we prevented Adobe from trying to muck about getting online. Actually NSA provides recommendations on how to lock down Adobe Reader, google "NSA recommendations for configuring Adobe Reader XI in a Windows Environment". We only used:

Mouse cursor in Indesign CC

Hello, I have a problems with using mouse in Indesign CC. I am using Indesign many years ago (CS1, 2 etc.) but I never hit this problem before. When I pres ctrl+space for zoom via mouse, the cursor always disappeared, so I can't select the place for zooming. Next problem is when I printing document. I am using always print to pdf (2400DPI/350lpi/CMYK) and during print, the mouse pointer is very, but very slowly. I am using three monitors and move cursor from left to right can takes aprox. 2-3 seconds. And last problem. When I can select whole paragraph by 3x mouse click, nothing happened for first try. Then if I move mouse cursor for some pixels on the screen, all works. Do you see the same problems? I am using PC (i7 processor, 16GB of memory), Indesign CC 64bit (czech language), so I don't expect any problem with PC performance. Indesign cs6 which I am using in parallel doesn't have any problem with mouse cursor. Thx for any idea how to solve it... Ilja

Firefox 4 appears to be causing my graphics card to stop responding for no reason, since upgrading to 4.0.

I'm not sure if its a common occurance for other users, but since the 'hardware accelerated support' with Firefox 4 release, firefox seems to regularly cause my graphics card (Nvidea GT320M) on my laptop to 'stop responding' for a few seconds every so often, usually when I have flash websites such as youtube open. It isn't a huge deal since it restarts working again after a few seconds of a black screen, but its annoying non-the-less.
An example of such: earlier today i started up firefox 4, and when it was loading the tabs, the screen turned black, and when the screen came back on, pop up in the windows task bar told me that the graphics card had stoped responding but successfully recovered. Not the first time, but becoming a more regular occurrence.

You seem to be running older versions of Flash and Java plugins. I'd recommend you update to the latest versions first of all to see whether the problem persists or not.
The easiest way to check is to go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page.
If that fails to solve the problem, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it works correctly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Firefox stops responding for 15s when starting downloads.

Every time I start a new download, Firefox will stop responding for around 15 seconds. During this time, nothing happens, my CPU usage spikes, and many downloads will subsequently fail if they do not support a resume feature. This is extremely frustrating. I have tried reinstalling, disabling add-ons, and clearing my download history daily, all to no avail. I'm tempted to switch back to Firefox 3.x. I know this doesn't apply here, but Nightly does the same thing.
I've got a C2D @ 3.16, 8 GB DDR2 1066, and a WD VelociRaptor 300 GB HDD as my primary (where files are saved temporarily), so I know it's not the system that's struggling.

I managed to solve this problem as my computer has been giving me problems lately and completely froze on me the other day thanks to Game Booster Beta 3 and completely screwed with Windows 7 to the point I almost had to reinstall again, but I managed to fix all my problems and if you would just follow my link here over to my post on Seven Forums then it would be easier then explaining it again.
