Just one, then I'll take the backseat and let the others jump in here...
Have you tried plugging in a USB mouse? At least that would tell you for certain if it's the touchpad or not... (and yes, touchpads do go bad...)
Also I see you're on a NVidia chipset...
This might work for you, at least it did for me...

Ok... Without it sitting on my workbench...I'm out of stuff you can try.
Ok, I did that yesterday. Turned the laptop on/off and did several restarts with no freezing up. :)
No. That's my main computer. See under other. This Lenovo laptop has an Intel 945 mobil express chipset.Also I see you're on a NVidia chipset...

I'm going to uninstall the Synaptics program and download one directly from synaptics that includes Win7 support.
Thank you again for all your help.
UPDATE:
I uninstalled the driver and synaptics program thru ad/remove in control panel. Rebooted. First boot, I had a black screen, 2nd boot I had the frozen cursor on logon screen.
Plugging the usb mouse I can work it. ARRRGGGGHHHHH !!!
Bumping this up because I still have the same problem.
On this laptop:
Lenovo3000n100 0768-A52
Win 7x32
Intel T2060 120 GB HDD 2 GB ram
Intel Mobil express 945 chipset
I've been working around this doing the following:
On first boot up, when I get to the logon screen, the cursor is frozen. The actual logon on screen looks a bit stretched ? for lack of a better word.
I can sign in, when I get to the desktop, I click the Win button, use the -> to log out and hit R to restart.
Reboot, then all is well when I get to the logon screen and enter my p/w and the cursor works properly.
It's the only time the cursor freezes. It works fine the rest of the time. I have already done all the above listed suggestions.
If anyone can add any idea why this happens, I would really apreciate it.
