Ok lets start to diagnose this.

This utility should be able to tell you whether you have any video or sound driver problems.
Click on the tabs and run the tests, i want to know whether you have sound problems too.
There are many ways to re-install video drivers but the easiest way is to put the driver CD that came with your video card or pc into the CD drive and let it auto run.
Then click on the driver install button.
If you do not have your original driver CD and you don't know the name of the manufacturer then things get a little harder but not too hard.
You can download a tool called EVEREST home edition, for free from here.

What i have told you here should do the trick, just let me know if you have any trouble or need me to clarify something.
Rancid,
i too have been experiencing the same thing as you describe and i believe it is not related to Mr Roboto's problem.
The whole feel of this game has changed with the new release, true but development is a one way street and there is no going back.
i have been fortunate in that the mouse thing does not affect me enough so i have got used to it but the sudden stopping thing is hard to swallow.
Damn.
it seems to me that it may relate a lot to your config as i messed around with /rate and cl_maxpackets and i think it got better or even cleared up I'm not sure, i haven't played for a week or so (i hurt my hand playing at a lan) lol.
There are people here with much more knowledge of these things than i have though and if they put their heads together on this one i bet they could get to the bottom of it.
