Well do you guys thing this is related to the graphics driver or something else?
Hi Firestrider, sorry for the late reply.
Have you downloaded & installed the lates driver for your GFX card?
What exactly is happening when it freezes? Does it completely cr@p out or is it just the cursor?
Just the loading animation freezes. Once it is frozen it stays like that until I restart my computer and then after about a minute it would freeze again.
No, the whole system doesn't lock up.
Switch mouse cursor themes. Boot. Test.
If problem solved, restore cursor theme. Boot. Test.
Hello,
I believe I have the same problem as you regarding the freezing cursor. It looks as though you have a Dell computer, and from the chipset, it looks like a laptop.
From my research, I have determined that the ALPS Touchpad driver that Dell uses disables cursor animations. Looks like it has been a problem for quite a while with no fix (that I can find at least) available at this time.
I have tried updating my driver to no avail. I am sorry I couldn't be of more help, but at least you might have a good idea as to what might be wrong.
