MOUSE and KEYBOARD "STUCK" with sound 'beep' emanating when I type

[FLKULCHAR]

First off, let me say I solved this problem when I rebooted my
computer...everything is A number one "perfect".

But, I had excel open, when suddenly, my scroll keys (left, right, up, or
down) ceased to function...they would only scroll one cell at a time.
Concurrently, a "sound beep" would be heard on every keyboard stroke that I
placed.

In short, computer seemed to have 'froze.'

I closed every window, and rebooted the computer...now, all is perfect, i.e.
as before.

Is there an explanation as to what may have occurred (so I don't repeat the
error)?

Thanks and regards,

FLKulchar

'They' mention a complete Windows XP reinstall...but, I had just finished
that 1 week ago!!!!

If you leave your computer on all the time, and just rebooting cleared
up the one time issue, I'd say there isn't anything to t-shoot. Things
like that happen, and as long as it's not frequent, there isn't a lot
you can do. Could have been memory leakage in a program that caused
instability, but there isn't enough info to go by at this time.

I have always been a firm believer in restarting the OS from time to
time to eliminate things like that happening. In fact I recommend
shutting down each day, although others feel differently.

To Terry R:

Thank you very much for your response tp my query; eventhough I have been
computer 'literate' for quite a number of years, I like to maintain (or
improve) my knowledge base by communicating with the so-called experts like
yourself; after all, I am asking the question...and you are furnishing the
answer.

My google search of this issue left me somewhat vague, so I used the
Microsoft Newsgroup site to fullfil my awareness.

I agree that rebooting your computer once per day is advantageous; ergo, I
do the same.

Again,

Thank you,

FLKulchar
