New You've hit the same...
Problem we had with VMware and our iMac, when we plugged the mouse in via a HUB...

Plug the mouse in directly into one port and every thing else on the hub.

Its what fixed it for us.

Keyboard doesn't need it and really the memory sticks don't really either.

I just think OSX plays games with USB ports from time to time if they have multiple devices on one USB port via a USB HUB.

Also, we purchase a REALLY nice HUB (a Belkin powered hub) which helped a bit before we switched the way we are now.

Only the mouse seems to have issues that way.

Edit:
Our mouse is a Logitech something or other wireless one.

New Thanks.
I tried unplugging the hub. It didn't make a difference.

I unplugged the wireless USB transmitter for the mouse from the Mac and plugged in a corded USB mouse (another Logitech). It still hangs, but it's much less frequent using the corded mouse. (Plugging it in directly or via the hub didn't seem to matter.) That tells me that it may be a mouse driver or mouse brand issue.

Perhaps this is Apple's way of telling me to buy a Genuine Apple mouse... ;-)

Oh well.

Thanks again.

Cheers,
Scott.
