If I do not use Mozilla with Emule, I have no problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Mozilla
2. Start Emule
3. Browse with Mozilla
4. After 5 to 30 minutes, the system blocks

Reporter: What do you mean that the mouse is "blocked"?   You can no longer move
it?    Mozilla doesn't accept input from it?    What about the OS / other apps?

Please, note that emule is not exactly a very polished application, there are
lots of reports about crashes and general system inestability (100% CPU use,
huge use of memory and system resources) in its forums, even crashes of routers
due to trying to run emule with incorrect configurations.
So you should try to report this problem in the emule board, and try to lower
your setting: number of files downloaded at once, files shared, maximum number
of connections etc...

I've report the problem in the Emule forum too..

My W2K-Pro is running with Emule, Outlook2000, ZoneALarm, Mozilla, IE6 and then
ICQ. I've disable a lot of services to keep memory resources and CPU.

the mouse 'blocked' : the cursor does not move yet.
