Hi, Chelsea,

First: Restart the computer and start typing the F8 key

Select Mode safe mode with networking

Download the following tool and run a scan complete to rule out malware

http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=16

Second: Run, File Checker system to verify the integrity of system files

Start > type CMD

Right click on CMD and select run as administrator

Type sfc/scannow

Press enter

Note: There is a space between sfc and / scannow

You might of your Windows Installation DVD if there is missing or corrupt files, so they can be replaced.  If System File Checker reports that SFC "can not repair file...", you need to reinstall the Windows operating system.

The more likely your computer freezes reason is because your computer does not have enough RAM for the tasks you want to perform. Your computer can become overwelmed by the wealth of information and lock up. To work around this problem, add more RAM or perform tasks less at the same time.

If it turns out that not enough memory is the issue, this site is reasonable when it comes to price.

Have you updated your mouse drivers lately?  Go to the site of the manufacturer of the computer and search for updated drivers.  Otherwise, navigate to the site of the manufacturer of the mouse and do the same thing.

  • Keyboard and mouse freeze on Satellite L355

    Occasionally, immediately after startup or the awakening of the day before, the keyboard and the mouse freezes as soon as the keyboard is used.
    The mouse works before the Frost, but will stop as soon as the keyboard is used. For example, the computer works fine and I can launch a program, download email etc, but as soon as I use the keyboard then it freezes.

    A USB or wireless mouse works in this mode, but not the mouse computer. On-screen keyboard also works with the external mouse. Unfortunately, I don't have a USB keyboard to see if it will work also.

  • The mouse freezes at startup properly off. Mouse only thaws and works correctly when I hold the power button to stop and turn back.

    I just got a new Inspiron 1545 computer 2 weeks ago and it works fine but I got a problem for the last two days where my mouse will freeze after that I stopped it using the stop option. When my computer starts you can move the mouse, but after a few seconds, it freezes, and you can't move the mouse but the keyboard works. I try to restart the computer with the option to reboot from the start menu and when it starts up to the top of the mouse freezes still. No matter how many times I try to stop or restart properly mouse unlock not. It only works if I stopped it by pressing the power and then switch on again. Any ideas as to what I could do to fix this?

    The sad truth is that the mouse freeze problem is back. I searched the forum for other solutions, but so far without success.

    I am currently using MS Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 and just to make sure that the problem is with the mouse, I inverted this mouse on my other laptop which works also on Windows 7. Mouse freeze problem is replicated, which never happened before for my other laptop.
    Conclusion, until Microsoft is able to solve this problem, I opted for Logitech. I bought a Logitech M235 wireless mouse last night and keep your fingers crossed that the mouse freeze problem will disappear.
    Life is too short to be stressed more mouse freeze problem.

  • keyboard and mouse freeze, hang, do not work

    again, the question was better but once again tonight.

    I have windows xp pro, acer power non-portable pc, ps2 requires laser (not wireless) mouse.

    at random times and programs, they will work and the mouse may hang and then keyboard. Sometimes I can take the mouse out of the back and use it in another form. Sometimes he stop and go in that direction or not responded on the card, even if the light is on. I heard today 3 beeps of the tower and the keyboard and the mouse has frozen.  If the keyboard is blocked so the only thing I can do is turn it off and restart. I don't think not that it's too hot because the problem may start immediately or later. the Device Manager in the Control Panel indicates these 2 works correctly and I can't find a place to make sure market. I clean the heat sink.  I'm not real smart but suggestions. What do the beeps mean.

  • Intermittent USB mouse freeze

    Problem: The mouse cursor freezes intermittently for 3 to 8 seconds or more.  This happens usually when I click on a web link while I'm browsing the internet, but it can happen also when I am with other applications (or just in the background) at random times.  I use WiFi for my internet connection, and my WiFi connection is often flakey, frequently disconnect and reconnect.  The keyboard and touchpad work very well during these gels.  I've owned my system for 11 months, but this problem only is surface a few months ago.  These gels seem to occur just before that I was notified of a low battery level.

    Hardware: Wireless mouse from Logitech G7, Sager NP9262 for laptop, Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 processor clocked at 2.66 GHz, dual Nvidia GeForce 8800 M GTX in SLI, 4 GB memory DDR2/800, Intel PRO/Wireless 4965 802.11a/g/n wireless Bluetooth, 3 hard disks, etc.

    Software: Logitech SetPoint Control Center 4.72.40 (same driver version), Windows Vista Ultimate 6.0.6001 (64-bit) build 6001 SP1 and all current updates, ZoneAlarm Firewall 8.0.298, AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.5.339, Open Office, Firefox 3.0.11, process Explorer 11.33 3.1.0 SeaMonkey 1.1.16, Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0.2 Nero Home Essentials SE, Spybot Search & Destroy 1.6.2.0 Quicken 2006 Basic version R3 , iTunes 8.2, Left 4 Dead and many other things.

    Tried patches:
    (1) I bought and started using fresh batteries in my mouse G7.  This reduces the number of low battery status notifications, but it has not ruled out all other freezes.
    (2) I found that a lot of reports of similar mouse freezes on the web (for example, http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistahardware/thread/99e3491c-9b60-4cd8-8113-90775600b9a8).  I did find that the bug reports which would be applicable to me.
    (3) a tech suggested I unload the Logitech software and try to run the default Vista drivers.  This did not help.
    (4) I downloaded and installed the latest drivers from the Logitech website.  This did not help either.
    (5) the technology suggests then download the latest driver wireless http://downloadmirror.intel.com/17525/eng/ICS_Dv32.exe, I did.  I ran it, but it doesn't have me showed no results.  I rebooted and found that I still had some freezes.
    (6) I then did a clean boot by following the instructions at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/929135.  I got a lot of strange things happen (Firefox does not, for example), but I could up IE7 and through a few web pages.  I've lived several mouse freezes.  Probably, this eliminates outside Vista software as a source of freeze.

    Notes: I think that these gels are caused by WiFi, hardware or software (drivers) activity.  Because this problem is surface recently, I doubt that it's a hardware problem.  Find it me more likely that it was caused by a software update, but I don't know exactly when this problem started, or what update could have caused it.

    AlanD2,
    Your wireless mouse works on the 2.4 GHz frequency, as do almost all electronic wireless.  It can experience interference of a large number of devices: your LAN card wireless, wireless router, a wireless phone 2.4 GHz, a baby monitor, security camera, a microwave oven, etc.  The list is almost endless.  When you went to the library have not experienced you the problem is probably due to interference with a new device in your House that you can not even be aware has a wireless component or may not be thought of as a possible source of interference.  Do some detective - start noticing exactly when frost occur, how minutes apart, how long it lasts, what time of day, etc.  You should start to see a pattern.  I had people know that similar problems have occurred only when the phone rang or only when the wireless router has been updated of DHCP addresses or only when someone was doing some popcorn for microwave.  I know that sounds crazy, but I ran a business wireless for many years and saw some very strange issues caused by interference.  You said your local wifi has been offline for two days and you haven't seen any interference.  You have a connection WiFi - are you running without wire from your House to a tower that provides your Internet service?  If so, your mouse is getting interference with your wireless radio that communicates with the tower.  And your mouse interferes with your radio, which is causing your wifi service to be flaky.  As I said, I ran an service provider wireless for years and have seen it happen several times.  You will not be able to use a wireless mouse if you use Internet wireless.

  • Whenever I'm searching on Google my mouse freezes and the tab has a loading sign.

    Whenever I tried something on Google the mouse freezes and tab includes a loading sign, as the Web page still loads. I can only scroll upwards and downwards, so basically I can't click on links, zoom in or out, ect. I know it's a RC I write just a bug.

    You have McAfee Site Advisor installed, which increases because of problems especially with Google. If you try to disable it to see if Firefox works. Alternatively, you can try to install the latest version (3.3.1) of the Site Advisor, one has to work.

    Mozilla plan on blocking older versions of McAfee Site Advisor Firefox 4 due to the problems they cause.

    This is the result of not not more likely USB ports. You can try to update the drivers of usb device, but if the problem there is not a lot you can do otherwise than to buy an expansion usb card. You can disable usb error reports to stop seeing the error.

    1. open Device Manager

    2 expand the Bus USB controllers section. Are looking for, then
    Double-click a host controller that has either the word "Universal" or
    'Open' in the title.

    3. in the Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab, and then select the checkbox 'don't tell me about USB errors ".
    Note: If you deselect this option, all other USB error messages will also die.

  • intermittent USB mouse freezes on new install 64-bit

    I was recently running Win 7 RC x 64 and started having problems with my cursor of mouse freeze intermittently and seemingly randomly for 3-10 seconds approximately.  Sometimes I could go for an hour without having the problem, sometimes happen several times in a few minutes.  During these blocks, everything else seems to continue to work perfectly - the keyboard works, my apps continue to run--just the mouse does not work.  So I tried another USB port, even another USB connector internal using the front USB ports on my PC.  I tried swapping my Wired Logitech G5 for a Noteboook MS Laser 6000 wireless.  I even dropped Win 7 installed Vista Ultimate x 64 from scratch, all installed on Windows Update, installed the latest drivers for all my hardware and does not install any other software at all.  Nothing helps.  This same PC, with all the same equipment and without new software in progress other than updates, installation worked very well without this problem since Win 7 RC first came out and before it was running Vista Ultimate x 64 very well for well over a year - and then a few months ago before I suddenly started seeing this problem.

    I read through tons of discussions on the mouse is frozen on Vista, here and elsewhere, and I saw these symptoms over and over, but nobody seems to have a real solution.  There is nothing in the event log, I can't identify any consistent trigger the problem, I can't catch anything suspicious in the Task Manager, when it arrives... I don't know what else to try.  My motherboard is peeling all of a sudden?  Some update mess up something?  It seems to everybody that it is a 64 - bit problem - which seems to be most common in the forum messages... same Logitech support says they have a lot of reports for 64-bit systems (my Logitech mouse is out of warranty or they would have made an exchange of material, but I don't see how that would have helped).

    Anyone have any ideas?  For everyday tasks, it isn't so bad, it of just time for a gel to be boring, but not so long to be disabling.  For the game, it's absolutely a killer (literally... Eh_bien, almost).

  • Keyboard AND mouse freeze

    Hi there, as it is said in the subject, my wired and wired keyboard mouse freeze periodically.  This does not happen after the hibernation or playing games or anything like that.  It just freezes.  I have to hold the power button in the close.  I'll try to restart and sometimes I'll get a keyboard failure error before Windows starts, sometimes I do not want.  But whatever it is, it won't work, any more than the mouse.  I have to turn off AGAIN, unplug everything, open the computer, remove the RAM cards and reinstall them.  When I plug everything back in, all USB devices seem to work once again, but then a day or 2 later I have to repeat the process again just to use my computer.  Once I got everything working again, I went into Device Manager, and of course everything that says it's working properly.  I tried to update the drivers, but they say that I have the latest update.  I am at a loss.  I tried to move the RAM cards for other housing open, but the problem persists.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium SP1.  My computer (Dell) is approximately 2 years and Vista has been installed.

I'm assuming that you have 32-bit, but if you have 64-bit, then you will need to check on the driver of Nvidia Web site. http://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

    It was the one for 32 - bit:
    GeForce Driver Release 181 WHQL

    Version: 181.22

    Release date: January 22, 2009

    Operating system: Windows Vista 32-bit

    Language: English

    File size: 77.9 MB

    Incompatible system memory or bad system can also lead to the instability of the system.  Please check that your system's memory has been tested and is compatible with your card mother brand and model.  There is 3rd commercial of party which allow you to test the integrity of your system's memory.  One of these programs is Memtest86, which is available for free download at the following ADDRESS: www.memtest86.com

  • How can I get my mouse to grab things without having to click on the buttons, if I have the touch mouse on my laptop?

    How can I get my mouse to grab things without having to click on the buttons, if I have the touch mouse on my laptop?

    You will need to go to the control panel > hardware and sound > mouse and see if the settings for the mouse pad have a function called "Tap-to-click" or something similar in the description.  The exact name of this feature differs depending on the manufacturer of the software for the mouse.

    If you do not see this option to be available, you will have to probably go to the support site for the manufacturer of your PC and download the latest drivers for your model computer mouse pad and install.  Once installed, go back to the mouse settings in the Control Panel, where you will most likely available additional settings after the driver installed.  I hope that the "Tap-to-click" function will be available to turn on or off.
