I recently observed a problem with a user in the Communication Dept, he uses a Win 7 x64 machine and since a week his mouse cursor was flickering uncontrollably.
It would be perfectly normal in other open windows but once you opened Microsoft Word or Outlook it started running all over the place.
Scouring Google as usual for answers saved me once again and this intermittent flickering had happened to other fellow users and their laptops had the same symptoms as my user
