I`ve got No CURSOR any idea?
Hi, well I`ve got a little problem, i`ve a IBM pc, i dont know the serie
exactly, and somehow some drivers have desappeared, i`ve repared the others, but the cursor dont appear, in the Managment appears a little "?" on the mouse... like if the driver were missing, i installed a standard genius driver, but it didnt work, what else could be? and if there exist a download, from where could i get it ?, or where can i get the right driver.... I must say that the OS is having some problems, and is like a lil slow. Even some dll problems, i think it got damaged by some virus... but well, any idea of what could i do to fix the problem ???. Thnx to all, take care . |

Thnx to all, take care . You can download mouse drivers from the manufacturer: http://www.geniusnet.com.tw/download/Driverlist.htm The loss of the mouse and the other problems you are experiencing are more than likely the side effects from the damage done by 'some virus'. I'm a little concerned that your post is so vague on this which leads me to think that you do not have an anti-virus program with up to date definitions running on your computer. Download AVG from www.grisoft.com , install and download updated definitions and run a full system scan. Do the same with Spybot Search & Destroy from www.safer-networking.org If the damage to your system is severe you may have to consider formatting your hard drive and re-installing Windows. Steve |

Thnx for ur advice Steve(sorry for my shoort explanation but i dont speak
english so fluent and i was a lil confused of how could i explan all that), actualy the pc is not mine, is from a friend, and well he just left it without antivirus for a long time, it is not a normal problem that the cursor would desapear; each time that i start using it more errors come up about ..dll's and it's also slow to open some programs and windows like the "HELP" one even it freezes. I`ve already scaned it with norton, and also panda, in both detected several adwares, and some virus, specially norton did, it found arround 256 spywares, and 6 virus and from all those only 1 got fixed, i`m a lil worried about the situation, coz the OS seems to be very infected and damaged. I was also thinkin in the option of format it, but i`ve got another question which made me not to do it, and lets see if someone knows what can i do or if i might proceed without problem, as i said is an IBM and those companies have their oun way to start, can i just format it with a single XP or ME CD, or do i have to get an IBM CD to format it so i wouldnt get any starting trouble?, like in the Compaq PCs, they need a special CD to be able to format and reinstall the OS. Does anyone knows if i need to do that with the IBM?. I`d be very thnxfull if u answer this question!. Tnx to all. Dulce. |

To format the hard drive you need to boot the computer with a WindowsME Startup disk and select the option for CDROM support. This article explains the procedure for formatting and re-installing Windows better than I can: http://www.aumha.org/win4/a/clean.htm Good luck Steve |
