| 608966 | 2007-11-06 23:33:00 | My husband's laptop has the cursor frozen. He has unplugged and turned back on, but still frozen. Has control/alt/del & task manager comes up, he can use the arrow keys, but cannot get anything to shut down so he can reboot. Any suggestions? | ljcsns (13005) | ||
| 608967 | 2007-11-06 23:54:00 | Get hijackthis in my sig below. Put it in its own folder. Install it run it click on scan the system and save a log. Post the log here somehow. Has he scanned for viruses etc? Depending on what version of Windows (if this is Windows), boot into safe mode. Is he having this prob with the touchpad (if its got one) or a mouse? If mouse is it PS/2 or USB?? If its got PS/2. |
