I frequently have this problem with my mini mouse with roller. This is on a PIII Compaq laptop. It is usually when I have done a lot of scrolling and flipping work. The system on some occasions completely locks and I must turn it off. Otherwise I do the take out and put back routine. The builtin pad sometimes will work and sometimes not. I attribute this to the basic M$ OS and Intell interface problems. It probably gets lost. This happens both with M$ and RH 5 through 9.
