TD locking up computer (mouse)

I don't know if I'll be able to get back to this thread to reply to questions, so here's the problem. Took me all day to get signed in.

Mouse goes dead when on TD. Screen won't scroll. Cursor will move, but right or left click does nothing. Have to ctrl-alt-del and go to a different site. Mouse works fine when I get there.

Problem occurs whether on chrome or IE. Happened once or twice yesterday, all day today.

I have Windows 7, Dell PC tower, Norton anti-virus, Photoshop Elements 8, & Word Perfect processor. No games or anything like that.

I'm not the only one having this problem - 2 others that I know of, lurkers not posters; I spoke with them

No problems with other websites

Doesn't matter which TD board

When TD comes up, scroll works fine but click on a thread and it kills the mouse.

Did a system restore to a week ago, but still having the problem. Even tried a different mouse.

Any suggestions welcome. Don't know if I'll be able to respond, but will try

Thanks!
