Bill,

It's probably something (scandisk, defrag or an anti-viral check) that is running from their TaskScheduler. Open the little calendar looking icon in the systray.

It's like the computer is using all it's resources to do someething on the diskdrive, and can't spare the time for the mouse. As I move the mouse, nothing happens on the screen, then after 2 seconds the cursor jumps to a new spot. I'm the only one in the office, the other computer on their peer to peer network is turned off. Rebooting the computer makes it go away, but it comes back faster the 2nd time.
