Mouse troubles

[GX1_Man]

I never said I don't have spyware...

<<<As for the virus/spyware scans, I'm not going to bother. I don't think the problems are connected to either.>>>>


I guess I misunderstood.

And then you said:

126 Spyware, 3 Other threats were found.

Just put the original mouse and keyboard back then, and see what happens.

Are you watching, Fed?

This is getting intolerable. Mouse froze up, rebooted, and it was still frozen afterward. Had to reboot afterward. Don't know if it's gonna keep doing that, but I don't think I'll be able to stand it if it does.

How about a nice format and reinstall of Windows? That will solve most Windows problems for a while.

do you have a legal copy of XP to reload? Or a product recovery CD?

Is your mouse plugged into the correct port.
Don't just say 'yes'.
Check it out.

My computer has...126 Spyware, 3 Other threats......

<<I already have Ad-Aware and Spybot, what is AVG?

If both of these things are true, and you said them, then the Ad Aware and Spybot were NOT being updated and used correctly. That's a fact. Check the current version with what you had and do the updates when reinstalled and at least weekly. That is what you need to improve on when you get up and running again.

AVG Free is at:

Kotenku.....ROTFLMAO..........this thread is too funny......
So your mouse doesnt work..........go and buy another one.....or open up that one and clean it out ........

This is getting intolerable. Mouse froze up, rebooted

 Is it close to a open window ....if so close the window . Does it cough or have a runny nose .

I don't have the XP box though, and I don't know what SP2 is.

....SP2 is service pack 2 for win XP ........and if you havent got it ....go to windows update site and get it along with all the other updates you may not have .....

Perhaps it might be to your advantage to simply format the pc and then do a clean install of XP .....
Some how I suspect theres more going on with this pc than you realise .

DL65, now you're getting it. Are you ready to call Fed yet to end this mouse crisis?

I am having exactly the same problems.

My old computer is now unusable thanks to this mouse problem and now for some unknown reason, my laptop is suffering the same problems.

I do not use the same mouse I used on my old computer, but thankfully I have a touchpad.

I tried absolutely everything to fix my old computer but nothing ever came close to working.

It is really beginning to get on my nerves now .

Pleas heeeeelp me, as I have so much work to do...

[GX1_Man]

Mouse Virus, methinks.

Damaged/corupted graphics card driver..........over-heating pc?  pc does not like old hardware/keyboard/mouse.

download sisoftsandra............and run diagnosics........

[Kotenku]

If only it were overheating.

My computer has in fact been getting overheated, due to a burnt out fan. It's been replaced, but the problems persist.

Checking Event viewer, I've been getting several errors on startup  sourcing in "cdrom"

The error is this: The device, \Device\CdRom0, has a bad block.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

I don't know if it's related.

[GX1_Man]

Mouse and CDROM are an unlikely link.

[Kotenku]

My computer was not up to date with SP2. It is now.

I downloaded "SiSoftSandra" and run a diagnostic, should I post the results?

In spite of updating, the mouse continues to misbehave, though it hasn't totally locked up except once immediately after updating.

A fact I forgot to mention up til now. The cursor will commonly freeze up if I lift the mouse up off the mousepad, or move the wire upwards any significant amount. It probably is the mouse itself that is the problem, though I'm not yet completely ready to give up on a solution that doesn't cost money. (I really haven't got money to spend on it.  :-/)

And as for whoever it was (can't remember) that suggested  I had the mouse and keyboard in the wrong ports, no. They're correct. It's even got the little mouse and keyboard pictures above the ports and color coded and everything. Really, give me some credit at least.

If this is all over a bad mouse and you won't spend $1.99 for a new one.........
