you might want to check the mouse settings in control panel, but i don't think thats it. how fast of a processor and how much ram do you have? burning a cd uses a lot of the processors resources.

xp 2500,512 ram,I have another old system that is running a pentium 2 350 256 ram,and it doesn't do this.

My daughter had similar problems on her computer. Turned out to be programs running in the background. A LOT of programs running in the background. Eliminating those programs and adding more memory solved the problem. I also explained to her, that she didn't need to download and install every application she came across

you see, it's the resource hog that is burning a cd that is slowing you down coupled with the many programs probably running in your background. Listen to the doctor .
