problem with cursor- help pls- urgent

[santu_29]

hi
i am facing a very annoying problem. the mouse pointer stays where it is <sticks on the screen>, but the mouse is working. its that i dont see the cursor move but i can use the mouse to click on anything though i cant see the cursor move. i restart the pc and every thing works well for some time.again suddenly the cursor(mouse pinter) hangs and does not move though the mouse pointer is working and i am clicking on what i want. its not that the mouse has hanged, its working properly, its the pointer(the visual arrow).
i want to add that, the mouse stays on(i.e. the led below stays on even though i switch off my pc), it goes off only after i switch off my ups.

specks:
asrock-intel845 motherboard
512 ram
p4 2.4 processor
xfx 6200 agp
using adsl via lanport onboard
56kbps modem
aureal soundcard

did you install some cursor program like cursorxp or somehing?

if you did, try disabling/uninstalling that, and restarting, or take off your mouse, restart, plug it back in and install new drivers

is it a USB or a PS/2 mouse...

restart in safe mode..
rmove the mouse drivers from device manager,
and then when ur adding them,add logitech PS/2 drivers...should work now..

also u can try using the same mouse in some other PC to check if something is wrong with PC or mouse!

Remove cursor programmes like Cursor XP and change ur cursor to windows default.
