Computer Hangs...USB Mouse Quits Operating
My Dell laptop running Windows ME is constantly hanging.
When I do Ctrl-Alt_Delete, I always get Msg32(Not Responding). My Optical USB mouse wont work, but I can use the touch pad to end task and unfreeze the screen. But the mouse wont work again unless I re-boot. Then the whole process usually repeats within a few minutes. |
