DOOM and Trackman

I'm running DOOM on my new 486 with a Logitech Trackman
and when playing DOOM the trackball works great for the
first 10-15 minutes then locks up. By pressing any of the
keys the trackball will start working again. BUT eventually
after two or three trackball lock-ups the game stops responding
at all to the keyboard (can't save ,escape, nothin'). I can
play the game fine if I don't use the trackball, but the trackball
is great for this kind of game.

Anybody got any ideas???


Thanks
George
