Thanks for the reference. Logically, it would seem that there should be no
connection. But, if turning the software on and off creates and eliminates
the problem, indirectly there has to be a tie-in. Since computer technology
is not my forte, I cannot explain the relationship. Was the software
bundled with Windows originally? a download from Windows Update? If the
latter, perhaps there was a bad install, which may not affect the software,
but which might affect some other relationship.

My thought (and it is only a guess) would be to uninstall the v 3.5 SP1 via
Control Panel\Programs, download and install the same software from a
Microsoft website. (Why the msconfig\Services version and Control
Panel\Programs version carry different version numbers is beyond my scope,
unless they are unrelated programs.

Does an uninstall/re-install make some sense to you?

Thanks for your time on this perplexing, illogical ( ? ) issue.

What program bundled with what? What application that is using .NET is
the culprit is more of the question. What software is installed on the
machine that now has something to do with mouse mouse movement is more
of the question.

And if the something is blowing up then there is most likely an error
message that has been recorded is the System Eventlog you need to look
at to get just what is the error and what or who is causing the error.[color=blue]

No, you're accomplishing nothing here.

What happens if you disable all but NGen.
