    Cursor freezes when entering text fields

    Almost every time that I click on a text field (whether in Firefox, Chrome, or even while creating a Power Point), my cursor freezes and is unresponsive for about 30 seconds. During this time, the keyboard is responsive and I am at least able to use the Tab key to move to the next text box.



    In my desperation to fix this issue I have tried a few different things:
    -Registry clean-up tool
    -SuperAntiSpyware
    -Searched the Internet for similar problems, but did not find helpful results

    I am currently utilizing Trend Micro Titanium for virus protection. Any thoughts on what the cause may be?

    Thank you!

    Hello AnalyticAda and welcome to the forums

    Stay away from registry cleaners/optimisers, they tend to do more damage than good!

    Try following these instructions to see if the problem lies with your startup programs:
