Check the control panel for "FindFast". It will periodically scan the disks looking for new files. It is so intense it will cause the mouse to be unresposive and the keyboard to stall. If office is installed it surely is there. Disable the bugger!

>On a clients computer, sometimes late at night, working in VFP 7.0, all of a sudden, the disk drive starts working on something, and my mouse quits working properly. 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.
