I understand you are having some issues with your mouse point. I will be happy to assist you with this. Start by installing the Synaptics TouchPad driver which controls the mouse. Run the HP Diagnostic Tools to see if there are any hardware issues. Do the System Test – Extensive Test. When does it freeze are you a particular program or browser when this happens?
Thank you,
