I have a similar problem with my mouse except that it happens when my Hard Drive 
is working hard so another plea to anybody who knows the solution.  All was OK with 
my system (Athlon600, 512mb, 28gb, Win98SE) until I suferred a crash about 3 months 
ago and have had the problem ever since.

I also had this problem under Win95.  At that time I had a utilities suite that diagnosed 
that my system had defaulted to a very basic version of HD driver (something like 
a "get you out of trouble emergency driver").  It told me what to do to correct the 
problem and the problem disappeared.  I assume the HD driver was taking all the resources. 
 Unfortunately the utilities were OS specific so I dropped them when I switched to 
98 but now I cannot find them on the net.  I think they were called "Soft Sara" or 
something similar.  If anybody knows of them I would love to know.

Anyway, the point is check your CD/HD drivers!
