No one knows what "renovated like new" means. What made you do this in
the first place?

PC was slow and I was on Dial Up.....various things were not working.
took it in and my local techies replaced motherboard, RAM and added RAM
power supply, all you can replace. The motherboard was defectiv
causing most of the trouble.
It worked fine for a few weeks then I got fed up with Dial Up and wen
to Metrocast. It was great to have high speed and worked fine.
still have no problem getting online or surfing or staying online.
Today I called my techies and they said the mouse thing sounded lik
something in Explorer that they would look at but couldn't talk m
through on the phone. We just had a monster snowstorm and I am 1
miles away so I don't know how soon I can get there. Last night, al
was working fine. I even changed my desktop and the mouse was righ
clicking fine. Today also. But an hour ago it went off again. I ra
Virus Scan and spyware all neg. It is a few week old mouse, optical.
The old mouse that goes in a USB also won't work. Programs won'
shut.....get Not responding messages. Once that hourglass is on I hav
to shut it down with the button. Is this enough info. ?
