Thanks for the replies! The problem is solved, but I'm not sure which effort
was the winner. Here is what I did:
I had already used the Tweak.ui to try to fix the problem. The second thing
I did was to relaod the Intellimouse Optical driver, and reinstall it. I do
believe this was the most effective thing I did, but wait until you here what
happened next.
I rebooted my computer, and it hung in the restart process. Reset button
would not work, and there is no power switch (HP), so I unplugged it for
several minutes. After reattaching the power cord, the restart still hung, so
I again unplugged the computer. I opened the case and checked the seating of
all cards and RAM. Reapplied power, and the same stall was still present.
Exasperated, I unplugged the machine and went to bed. The next morning, I
reattached the power cord and the machine restarted normally, and the problem
was fixed! So was it Tweak.ui, Driver update from the latest one on the
Microsoft downloads, or some other thing...
I just don't know. I will tell you that the unreliable restart has me
considering the hardware replacement avenue. Again thanks for the replies!!!
