Something very likely occurs with 10-15mins intervalls then.

Spyware, virus.

I would have understood if it occurs ingame when facing a zerg or smt with lots of pulsing effects etc etc. with /effects all.

But simply with 10-15 min intervalls.

Do you have some odd software installed?
like a internet explorer "plugin" or smt?

Or some old mainboard with a via chipset kt266, then it might be USB related.
your mainboard kicks your mouse out then re-invites it. happens under system stress/temperature. The computer will hang when this happens for a lil while.

Ok..its not allways 10-15 mins, sometimes its 30 mins, 45 mins, but at least 3 times pr hour...today it has been worse (15 mins ca between)....maybe it is spyware..hasnt formated my pc for a while....im sure its lots of shit in it...virus? doubt it...but it may still be it...and it happens mostly when im ingame and solo (not when im in a grp, or small "zerg"), and in PvE only, dont think it has happened in RvR yet.....indeed strange things..but i will try to reformat my PC as soon as i can find those XP CDs..this is kinda bad to play with :(
