What os are you running and what are your computers specs. What are the programs that are running when the illegal operations dialog comes up.

There are many possibilities. Modern mouses have microcontrollers (stripped-down microprocessors), and driver or hardware errors can cause lockups. USB or PS/2 mouse? It makes a difference in this case.

Win 95 has a limited amount of RAM available for system resources (even less than Win 98/Me), regardless of how much RAM the system has (though 32 MB is not enough system RAM, even for Win 95). If there are too many programs running, the system will lock up or crash. You may have a virus or Trojan running and sucking up resources. You should add 128 MB of memory and upgrade to Win 98SE as soon as possible.

Bring up the Task Manager with the [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Del] key combination and note what's running. Take notes and post them here.
