You might want to defragment the drive and check it for errors by Right
clicking on the Drive letter after clicking on My Computer and running those
tools.
Also, boot to DOS and at the prompt type:
scanreg/ fix (notice the space)
and press Enter.
When that is finished running type:
scanreg/ opt (notice the space)
and press Enter.
When that is finished running type:
Exit
and press Enter to reboot to Windows.
If those solutions don't work it seems the only choice is to reinstall
Windows.
If your hard drive has at least two partitions, then this is not a major
problem since you can back up all the files you want to save on the second
parition. You also can burn them to a CD or save them to another computer
if you have a home network.
If reinstalling Windows doesn't work, then you might have a hardware problem
such as a loose or damaged cable, a CPU fan that no longer works properly
etc. Those are only two hardware problems that might be causing the
freezing problem.

Update your motherboard chipset drivers. You have an

One other thing - Download RegClean to your desktop and
run it.

Click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, then
RIGHT click Sytem
Information. Send a System Information shortcut to
your desktop (there
are a bunch of diagnostic utilities in it that you
will
find useful.)
Click the System Information shortcut, then click
Tools. In the drop down
menu, click Internet Explorer Repair Tool. Then click
the Repair Internet
Explorer Radio Button and follow the on-screen
instructions.

yes i have run a complete virus scan. I downloaded
the
mouse driver and ran the spybot but no fix yet,
however i
think we made some progress cause i was able to
control
alt delete to restart when it froze this time.
Anything
else?

I then assume you have run a complete virus scan with
the
latest virus
checking definitions. Is this correct?
Download and run SpyBot - it's a bit more thorough
than
Ad Aware IMHO. It
also has an Immunize feature that you should
activate.

You also might want to reinstall your mouse/touchpad
drivers which can be

so

wont fix it. Another suggestion?
-----Original Message-----
You might have a load of spyware on your system
that
is
hogging resources.
Download and run Ad-aware 6.0 build 181 from
Download.com.
