I'm not really this stoopid. I'm just testing you guys. NOT! lol. Ok here it
is. MY cursor keeps freezing up. i have tried pushing everything but the dog
and I cant get it to unfreeze. Only way is to hit the reset button on my
puter, then it works again. this has happened to me twice in 2 days. Its a
labtec and has a wheel. that's all i know about it. Could it be my mouse is
just wore out? And I dont even have a cat to chase it! LOL :) when im in aw
I cant even close the aw window with it.i hit esc. but that doesnt close the
window. and i cant shut off my puter properly to reboot.

As far as shutting down programs goes, try pressing Alt + F4 at the same
time to close the current window/program. You can get to the Start menu
if your keyboard has a key with the Windows logo on it (on my keyboard,
it is near the left Alt key). From there, you can safely shut down your
computer using the keyboard.

Shut Window - Alt + F4
Task Mgr - Ctrl + Alt + Del (should be able to kill anything causing a
freeze)
Reset (some OS): Ctrl + Alt + Del (x2)
Shutdown (xp): Start, up, retur, right, return
Mother of them all: Cmd > shutdown -r

Just one thing... is your mouse PS2 or USB? I noticed this happened to
*counts the dead mice on my floor* 3 PS2 mice so now im using a optical USB.

Hi Ciena,
Those symptoms are the same ones that I and my partner have experienced in
the past year or so and we both discovered that changing out the hardware
mouse fixed the problem. Ya gotta spare mouse you can try? : )

Another person I know is having the same issue. She says it only happens to
her in my world tho LOL. Not sure what is causing it but seems no one has
suggested the recent upgrade ... perhaps there's a bug to be nailed there
somewhere???

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] Either that or REPLACE that contraption you call a "mouse pad" with a REAL
one that actually works. :-)
