First stop has to be trying to repair permissions.

kill: open the terminal and run "top" (type: [code] top </pre><hr></blockquote>) look for the name of the process you are trying to "kill" and remember the PID (left hand column) then press "q" to terminate "top" (type: [code] q </pre><hr></blockquote>) then run the kill command with the PID you remembered from before (type: [code] kill (PID) </pre><hr></blockquote>) if that doesnt work try [code] sudo kill (PID) </pre><hr></blockquote> then enter your admin password
also there is an application called escapePod (i think) from Ambrosia that may help
you may also want to run "fsck" from single user mode this fixes the file system (file system check)
if you want instructions on how to do that just ask

also what version of OS X are you running? Ram? did you just install ram?
i still use IE alot because i sell alot of stuff on ebay and Safari doesn't work well with eBay. any sites with forms or online ordering don't work well either from my experience
what computer are you using?
what os? version number too.
how much ram? is it all from apple or was there add on ram from a vender?
does your mouse still move? do you have spinning ball of death?
thanks....g
everything just freezes. i think the cursor disappears
will fsck help?
i might be having email problems too. i may have to just reinstall 10.2.4. or is there a way i can just reinstall mail.app. can't i use Pacifist to extract it from the OS X discs?

<strong>next time it happens, try plugging in a wired mouse and unplugging the receiver for the logitec</strong><hr></blockquote>
Paul, the MX500 is a corded mouse. You're thinking of the MX700. The two are basically the same except for the wired 500 vs. the wireless 700.
I have no idea what the problem could be, although I doubt it's the mouse. Could be, though.
I also had a cordless from logitech once. a optical one. She froze every day about two times. but it was only the mice. If I plugged in a other mouse, it worked fine again.
AFAIK, there is no 'solution' with this. The only thing you can do, is to unplug the receiver for about 10-20 sec. then plug it back in, and it should work fine again.
sorry I didn't saw this earlier. I read through the thread, but... I don't know.

he edited the title...
Are you using the "Logitech Control Center" software with it (available <a href="http://www.logitech.com" target="_blank">here</a>)?
If so, try deleting it - if not, try installing it.
I see from the release notes that it is compatible with OS 10.1.2 - 10.2.1.
Maybe this is the problem as you're using 10.2.4, though I doubt it <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />
i tried moving the logitech stuff to the trash but 2 items wouldn't move . it's says it's owned by the root. how do i delete this?

<strong>how do i delete stuff like this with OS X, i've never had to delete anything like this yet!</strong><hr></blockquote>
there is an uninstaller included with the app.
get it here:

deinstall it, restart, and install it again- the version I had problems with was 1.0.3
