I have been having a problem with my mouse & keyboard freezing up for a very
long time! I even have a different computer that has been upgraded to Windows
XP Home Edition SP2, the only hardware that is from my old computer is the
hard drive and modem. The Windows XP was a clean install and all my
documents and software had to be reloaded. I have dail-up modem. I have read
everything I can find and tried everything I know to do, but can't figure it
out. I have scanned the C/D drives for errors and I have updated everything.
I don't have USB mouse or keyboard. I have replaced both to be sure it's not
that. I have uninstalled my Norton in case it was causing the problem. I have
run every type of AV, Spyware, Trojan to make sure it isn't a bug causing the
problem etc... It doesn't seem to have any pattern and it isn't exclusive to
being on the internet. It froze in the middle of writing an email before.
When this happens you can still see everything on the monitor, there is no
error message, you just can't use your keyboard or mouse and have to do a
hard shut down to escape. I have tried watching my task monitor to see if I
can tell what's going on, the process using the most CPU is the "system idle
process"!
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who knows what we can do to resolve
this issue....
