It did on my daughter's box too. Mine died today. The reason I was having the mouse freeze, and other symptoms, on my Dell Dimension 2400 box, is that the motherboard is damaged. I ran the Dell Diagnostics on it, Sunday, and it was supposedly OK. Dell wants about US$237 for a new motherboard, delivered to our house. I think I will wait, until I can buy a very low end box, without a monitor, and everything will have a guarantee. I am going to fix up our backup IPCop Router/Firewall box and use that one, in the meantime. Slow, but it should work....
TigerDirect.com has a $99 box available, and it's pretty low end, but it might suit your purposes.
Good luck.
