When the pc boots up and Zonealarm loads, the mouse freezes and then soon coems back. This is also true when WinMX loads, the mouse just freezes and the PC des nothing. Tried re-installing the software- nothing. It never used to do this, and only happens with these 2 programs.
Zone alarm checks through your system before allowing any access, its a safety thing and can be quite beneficial, if the mouse does not work after completing boot up then it could be the mouse drivers.
