Mouse "Freeze" in Unigraphics

I just started using UG NX2 on a Dell M60. While I am impressed with the power of this machine, I am puzzled by a "quirk" that didn't happen before. My mouse will freeze up and I end up having to unplug the mouse and plug it back in to "unfreeze" it.

This occurs almost exclusively while in Sketcher and while using a tool that attaches a dynamic dialog box to the cursor. My first thought was a graphics card issue.

When I asked my IT person about it, they checked into it and replied that while NX2 has been validated on the M60, it has not been validated with a USB optical mouse (?!?!?!) and was not able to find out any known issues.

Here is my config information:

Software: Unigraphics NX 2.0.4.2
Computer: Dell Latitude M60, with port replicator
RAM: 1.0 GB
Graphics: NVIDIA Quadro FX Go700, Driver v4.4.2.4
Disk Space: 55.8Gb / 32.2Gb Free
Processor: Intel Pentium M, 1.70 GHz
O / S: Windows XP Proffesional, v2002 SP1
Mouse: 5-Button, Scroll Optical Mouse
Alps Touch Pad
Labtec Spaceball 4000FLX

Any help would be appreciated!

You can hide the dynamic box with F3.

That may help you out in preventing the freeze.
