freeze

Hi,

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 its installed using Wubi, dual boot with Windows. It's fresh install.

Randomly mouse cursor freezes and cant click anything on the screen. I can move mouse but cant click.

"It causes when select a text something" So I'm using keyboard to to reboot system. Then it back to normal after reboot. Tried with unplugging-plugging mouse don't work.

PC: Asus laptop with Intel GMA 950 graphic card. A4 tech optical mouse. Ubuntu 10.10 completely updated and upgraded.

How can I get around this?

Thanks.
