I keep getting locked if mouse or keyboard not constant use.

I'm losing my sanity here.

Here's the skinny. Last August, I bought a laptop. It's a Dell Studio 15.4 inch notebook. The model number is S1536 - 144 p. He has the top window Vista. I'm the only user.

About 2-3 weeks after the purchase of the laptop, a question arose. If I don't move the mouse or use the keyboard for 30 - 60 seconds, the system has cleared me and send me to the user with a login screen notes that my account has been locked. When I first posted help on a related forum of computing, the only solution, that I was asked was to make a system restore.

This is only a temporary solution. The issue has returned, and adays the system restore only now seems to keep the issue in one or two days. Whenever I do a system restore, I have to reinstall several updates, ranging from the window updates, anti-virus updates, reinstall a MMORPG ANYWAY.

I'm really sick of this. I tried this, but researching all my research resulted in people who lose their admin password or their screensavor their blocking. This isn't my case. I even deleted my password to see if this caused any solution. This is not the case.

I've been recently through the Web page of Dell support with nothing promising value. I posted all over to try to get advice from friends or some other computer savy, so far, my only alternative is a complete reset of the system. I'm ready to do after saving everything of course, but would like to see if there are other solutions before doing so.

Please help someone.

"I even removed my password to see if this caused any solution."

Do you have MS and SS and see what was going on in there with their settings?

Posters have turned off the screen saver and that solved their problem.

  • Account (s) of field keep getting locked

    OK, in our society, we have about 1400 employees...

    We have many domain controllers and 1 name of primary area... but also exchange and Lync server and served by actions and etc...

    We are also going through the Iprism web filter, which requires a user to access a site like google.com etc... Download authenticated etc... before regular web browsing works etc...

    We have windows 7 32 bit & 64 mixed in the environment (no XP machines)

    Also by GP, we have 10 invalid login attempts will lock the user account AD... also require password change every 45 days

    We were (for about 2 or 3 months now) see a larger than normal amount of accounts getting locked for what seems to be no reason... We have Netwrix Acocunt Lock installed, examiner, who tells us what PC lock is happing to and what DC reports bad passwords etc... but doesn't tell us is not what is the cause... especially when the user is nothing else than a regular job and does not enter their password in anything... also when we seek newspapers etc... There is nothing substantial, no saved credentials, any mapped drives, scheduled tasks are defined with the GP only by local user...

    We are on our side on this...

    in our society, it seems we have about 8 people who are locked in almost daily (and most have only not mobile devices with email either)

    The PC have seen the question seem to have 2 things in common...

    1. they all seem to have Office 2013

    2. all have a program installed called ADP (CDK) a program of the automotive industry

    Most computers are imaged via our server of fog...
    Windows updates are chased through Wsus etc...
    Antivirus is System Center Endpoint Protection etc...

    We checked the PC with this problem for malware, we looked in each log, we can find etc... and can not find what is trigger or submit incorrect credentials...

    We even tried to install the alockout.dll Microsoft locking tools... which seems to report nothing (I've read that this does not work in windows 7?)

    Does anyone have knowledge of something, we can run on the machine that will alert us regarding when an invalid password is submitted as well as what service or program sends the info?

    Thank you for the thoughts of anyone...

    Step 2: If the keyboard and mouse works well in mode without failure, then perform the clean boot and remove the program that is causing the problem.

  • Sculpt the Touch Mouse: mouse and keyboard not fully functional Center

    I bought and installed a Microsoft Sculpt Touch mouse. The Strip in the center of the mouse has three buttons by default assigned to the previous Page, click Middle and Page Down. I installed the mouse and the keyboard Center (v 2.3.188.0) to reassign these buttons but it allows to assign the button in the middle of the band. How can I redirect the other two buttons?

    Documentation for the mouse and the keyboard and mouse Center also says that I can assign macros to keys, but the mouse and keyboard Centre does not appear to include these options. How can I assign macros to my mouse keys?

    Thank you

  • Mouse and keyboard not working only not with the ERD in Windows 7 and Windows 7 install disc

    I have a Dell XPS 8700.  I just did an upgrade to an SSD.  The DSS started once with no problems, then it wouldn't start.  I get an error message 1 MBR.

    If I do a F12, I am able to boot from the SSD drive and everything works fine, but if any process requires a reboot it will not work.  IE, windows update that requires a restart does not update because it cannot restart.

    To fix the MBR, use either the repair or install disk to get to the command line.  I have two drives and when I boot with them I get the initial screen of language/keyboard and mouse and keyboard do not work.  I have the keyboard and mouse installed in USB 2.0 ports, their was also in 3.0 ports with the same results.  They work fine until the disc over to install the files, and then they die.  I tried 2 different sets of keyboards and mice with the same results.

    I also tried to use the Dell recovery disk and it did find and supposed to solve a problem when I ran in the beginning.  But I still get the MBR error.  The disc is represented and it did not find any problems and I wanted to reinstall windows back to the factory.

    Suggestions as to how to get my mouse and keyboard work again with the repair and install discs would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Navneet,

    Thank you for responding.

    Did you change the computer other than the upgrade to an SSD?

    Yes, I have, but that was before the SSD.  I upgraded the video card and added a 1 TB of HARD drive data.

    What is the complete error message you get on the MBR?

    The message reads as follows;

    "MBR 1 error.  Press any key to boot from floppy. »

    There is no floppy drive installed and I even tried to start with only the connected SSD.

    Are you an error code?

    No error code.

    As for changing the BIOS, I am not satisfied with messing with the BIOS, if this isn't an option.

    After thinking about this problem, I think that Dell has disabled somehow able to use disc repair/install "Windows".  I say this because they have disabled the ability to create a disk to repair Windows out of the Dell system and cannot create a Dell recovery disk.  Also because Dell has changed the MBR it wouldn't do any good to reset the MBR to the default value of Windows and the Dell recovery disk does not give you the ability to recover the MBR manually only.

    I decided that the best option was to do a clean reinstall of the OS, and that's what I did.  Everything works great for now.   It is a PITA, but nothing that I have not done before.

    Thanks again for your help...

  • Mouse and keyboard not working only not to the login screen

    Hi, I was recently infected with Antispyware Soft virus. In my attempt to remove it, my screen went black, so I had to restart my computer. Entering my login screen, I was unable to connect because my keyboard and mouse no longer works. I tried to start the safe mode too and they still do not work on the login screen. However, they work at the start of the BIOS. I looked around, but I couldn't find any option for Legacy USB drivers. I went to a few USB option and select [Enabled] and it still doesn't work to the login screen. I have no PS2 port, so I can't try it. I was also able to use my mouse and keyboard when you attempt a repair of the system to do a system restore, but that solves nothing. I am at a loss what to do. I hope someone is late, as I'll be gone tomorrow/more day late today. I am writing a computer laptop and unable to remember any care my office except the fact, it's Windows Vista.

    Hi HellMuT1,

     
    We recommend to use a different mouse and keyboard, then check the result. If the problem persists, try the following steps.
    1. Insert Windows Vista DVD.
    2. restart your computer.
    3. let the computer restart (boot) from the DVD.
    4. If you are prompted, press a key to continue.
    5. When you reach the screen install Windows, select your preferences in the language to install, time and currency format and keyboard or input method boxes, and then click Next.
    6. do not click on install now. Instead, click on repair your computer. The System Recovery Options dialog box appears.
    7. make sure that the appropriate operating system is selected, and then click Next.
    8. After you click Next, the System Recovery Options menu appears.
    9. click on command prompt.
    10. type devmgmt.msc and press enter
    11. on the window Device Manager, in the object list, expand mice and other pointing devices.
    12. make a right click the sub element and click on uninstall.
    13 expand keyboards.
    14. make a right click the sub element and click on uninstall.
    15. Type exit and press ENTER to restart the computer.
    16. remove Vista DVD and restart the computer to see if the keyboard and mouse works fine.
     
    I hope this helps.

When I try and change the options of the mouse on lenovo, it is grayed out. I tried everything to ungray it, but I have yet to succeed. help please?

    I unplugged all devices and USB keyboard and mouse USB in order to move to another office.  Then I put everything back in place, then started my machine.  Mouse and keyboard not responding do not, so I can't connect it to resolve the issue.  Tried in safe mode without success.  My mouse and keyboard are made from Microsoft and are wireless.  Unsuccessful despite everything I try.  Any ideas?

  • Mouse and keyboard does not not to login screen (Windows 7)

    As far as I know, an update of windows was held last night. When I try to log on to my office (gateway), my keyboard and mouse (Logitech M310 K520) do not work. I tried to connect in safe mode, but still no luck. I can press F8 before it connects to enter advanced startup options. I went in the selection 'repair your computer', and my mouse and keyboard work fine. I tried a system restore, run the Diagnostics, memory windows and tried several reboots, but without any difficulty. I have tried other mice, tried different USB slots, but all have the same problems. They work very well until what the login screen and then do not respond.

    Please let me know what are my options to resolve this problem. Would like to try more things on my own first of all, but I'm a bit of a novice in computer science.
