Thanks Bachus....I could try this Task Manager thing. i.e. see what resources are being eaten up?

One of the other members here is helping me too. He said the same thing....his works "flawlessly." I must have the only two in the world that DON'T work "flawlessly!"

There's nothing really to video.....what happens is simply this. I'll be using the touchpad to move the cursor around and the cursor suddenly freezes in one place. I then have to take my finger OFF the touchpad to get it moving again.

I really like this laptop. I'm hoping I don't have to return it and get a third one now.
