pointer that stopped working on the side of the wife of the computer

As long as I'm on my side of the computer, the pointer works. When we move to users next to my wife, the pointer will start to move and then stop and nothing what to do he'll move again. What could be the problem?

Create another user account exactly of the same type as your wife's account.
Logon to the new account > the cursor does work?

If so, I would say that your wife is corrupted.
Here's how to treat the damaged profile (account):

Note: You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.

  • Flash Player stops working when the computer is restarted. Why? It is always enabled.

    Why is Flash Player stops after restarting the computer to work? I have download Flash Player several times a day. Norton is the cause? When I re - download, I get a message that I have not sufficient user privileges, but it solves the problem, anyway!

    Unlocker is my go - to for fixing the files in this State.  It is probably easier to do it manually: Unlocker - free download and software reviews - CNET Download.com

    That said, the permissions being stripped on files is a symptom, not a cause.  You might get away with the lock and blowing these files and things will work normally after that.

    The point I want to drive home, it is that it would be smart to take advantage of the opportunity to save something essential.  You could just as easily be the first signs of catastrophic disk failure.  Having lost my share of data that has not been backed up, I always count these early warnings as gifts and take seriously at this point.  There are many good solutions free/good market online (especially if you don't have a lot of data that you really care), as well as traditional approaches to removable disk.

  • Windows stops working, but the computer remains on

    Since I've upgraded Windows 7 Vista Home Premium, my computer did this weird thing where the system stops completely, but the computer continues to operate.

    The screen goes black w/backlight, the power led lights up, and no keys will result in no change. ESC, ctrl + alt + delete, entry, all keys by sliding through the keyboard, nothing.

    I have to hold the power button to turn off.

    There's no real consistency on what programs I am running when this happens.

    I ran a few laps with no improvement.

    It happens not every day.

    Question did not begin until AFTER the upgrade

    Compatibility test of Windows 7 past on all brands before installing

    I considered the life of the battery and, once again, no consistency there.

    I downloaded all updates and kept the customization to the point where I put only reliable programs and without attempting anything weird (like the installation and execution of programs from one partition or dual-boot)

    Any ideas?

    It's just a thought! It would not be something to do with the software or operating system. I have had a few clients with this problem.

  • Fallout 3 stops working after the computer wakes from sleep

    Since the games for Windows Live 3 is out, Fallout 3 has never been the same. He used to work at best my GfWL and now her nightmare. Recently, after that I quit the game and put my computer to sleep, Fallout 3 will stop working completely after wake up. I try to start it and I get them all is a cursor with a small blue rotating light. What is even more strange, is that my computer goes into a State of semi who no longer meet this point where programs and keyboard shortcuts no longer work, but I can browse my hard drive. I try control + SHIFT + ESC to see what the devil but that causes Windows Explorer to stop working. CTRL + Alt + Delete does not work either. No matter what I try, once I start Fallout 3 after the computer wakes from sleep, I can't do the task to the top manager and I can't use my computer. The only way to get it is to hit the reset button or turn off manually. Can someone please help to get rid of this problem?

    Hi murphy449,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. the problem only happens when you start fallout 3 after the sleep mode?

    3. are you able to wake the computer quits successfully sleep mode?

    4. What is the version of Windows installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    I suggest that you manually download and install the latest drivers for display on the computer card and check if it works.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails then I suggest that you try the clean boot procedure to check whether a third-party program installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • My computer keeps showing random parts "suddenly stop working" and the computer needs to reboot - I think it's a virus.

    I have a problem when occasionally and randomly my computer components apparently all of a sudden "stop working and must close ' which translates into my computer restart itself. This happens a lot, but I can not associate with any particular issue, as it changes each time. I think it's a virus, but nothing seems to be wrong, it's just the inconvenience. I had the computer more than a year and nothing wrong with it. The only other common thing is a program called "twonkymedia" seems to be on my pc and "must be closed", but I can't find anywhere to remove it.

    It's driving me crazy now, as can happen at any time during the game, work or other passtimes of the computer.

  • Keyboard stops working when the computer is idle

    I have an ASUS desktop and windows 7.  When the computer is idle for a few minutes, the keyboard farm operation.  The mouse works fine.  Tried a new keyboard and no solution.  Tried a different USB port and the same thing.  If I restart my computer, it works fine until it is idle for a few minutes and then stops again.  Really frustrating.  any ideas?

    Original title: keyboard closed unexpectedly

    Hi Majohnson,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    1. This is not the exact model. your ASUS computer?
    2. The issue has started happening recently? If so, did you do the computer-specific changes before this problem?

    The question could arise is there some problem of corruption of pilot partners or a third party service interferes with the function of the normal keyboard. In order to diagnose and resolve the issue, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Try to start the system in safe mode and check if the number is reproduced. If this isn't the case, then clean the computer starts and check if that helps.

    Step 1:

    Safe mode is a diagnostic mode in which you are connected with only the minimal necessary services and active pilots. Check if the number is reproduced.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    Step 2:

    Place your system in the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.
    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Note: See "how to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to prepare the computer to start as usual after a repair.

    If the problem persists, try the following method.

    Method 2:

    If you have any security software installed on your computer, try to temporarily disable the security software and check if the key words work properly. Subsequent update of the security after a repair software.

    Disable the anti-virus software

    Warning: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    See method 3 for additional assistance on the issue.

    Method 3:

    Uninstall and reinstall the drivers USB controllers. Use Device Manager to uninstall and reinstall all USB controllers. This allows controllers to recover the port USB of his condition does not respond. USB controllers represent the USB ports in Device Manager.

    1. Open Manager devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and security, and then, under System, clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. In the list of the categories of equipment, locate and expand Bus USB controllers.
    3. Right-click every device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
    4. Restart the computer and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.
    5. Plug in the keyboard and test to make sure that the problem is solved.

    Open the Device Manager and check if no yellow exclamation point appears. If you can see this yellow sigh perhaps the sound card driver is not installed correctly.

    In addition, please plug the headphones to your laptop and check if you can hear anything through the headphones.

  • Firefox extension: 'TrueSuite 5.2.500.16' stopped working after the last update of firefox (30.0), although subject: said plugin activated. No difficulty to make it work?

    Firefox extension: 'TrueSuite 5.2.500.16' stopped working after the last update of firefox (30.0), although subject: said plugin activated.

    I tried to reset firefox and search for similar problems, unfortunately found nothing.

    It is also weird empty space before the address in the address bar

    other extensions and addons seems to work very well.

    Firefox 30 spent some less commonly used "Always turned on" plugins "asking to activate. To check and change this to TrueSuite, you can use the page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Then on the right, check the setting on the right side of TrueSuite.

    Any difference?

    Note to other readers: the original poster had to leave Firefox and start it again until it is actually entered into force.

After that, my second monitor stopped working. The system will not identify it more.

Please notify that I need my second monitor is fully functional!

    However, can you please tell what camera do you use?

    I can t believe that if fans stopped working then the laptop should automatically stops or the CPU overheats! It is very dangerous because the laptop and the motherboard may cause damage.
    So if the fans don't turn you should not turn on the laptop.

    But maybe the cooling modules run only with the lower speed?
    This is not unusual. The BIOS and the energy-saving control the speed of the CPU and cooling modes. Fans should not run with maximum efficiency if the temperature does not increase.
