I spoke too soon. The mouse was working for like 5 minutes. Then froze again. I reinstalled the drivers earlier today and that didn't help. This is pissing me off lol

Try removing the mouse software (uninstall it)...Windows drivers will work amouse anyway and maybe there is a conflict with some other program...I'll just bet Roxio didn't totally uninstall and there arte remnants left in the rgistry. I use a program called jv16 Power Tools to get rid of those entries after an uninstall.

With the current information, I am more convinced that there has been a lot of Registry corruption as I suspected from the very beginning. I suspected it was from the Software Install as I presumed you have current Antivirus/Antispyware/Fire wall and other defences against mischief makers. Did you try System Restore yet? One subtle point to keep in mind; whatever mischief the vernmin might have done to your System before it was chased away, the System Restore file- well intentioned saviour- becomes a curse by giving the vermin sanctuary and let it return to haunt us!

Yeah, the Sytem Restore had only one option set to yesterday afternoon :( Will a regclean help?

0

My personal experience with many of those RegCleaners is that they're are often a waste of time if freeware and money too in those Paid "Pro versions" I'd tried in the very remote past! I stopped trying them any longer and would defer to others who use them successfully for comments including whether it is worth a try in your current predicament. I often do manual Regedit if I know it is going to be simple and won't take a whole lot of my time. In the above case where a lot of variabes are unknown, my next step would be Windows Repair as said earlier in my Respons #1 step 4 and I have run out of options between Repair and Reinstall. M

One other thought hit me and having reread this thread I can't see where you uninstalled Roxio either, but Roxio usually placed a number of unnecessary entries in startup, the only one necessary I believe is Direct CD. You could go Run, msconfig, startup, ok and uncheck all the Roxio entries, which could be conflicting with mouse software...reboot and see if that does it. Rich M www.kickenhardware.net

It started working again last night. After I set up a screen saver and used JV Power Tools. Go figure. Thanks for all your help people, I really do appreciate your time. If it happens again I guess I will try and repair windows and if that doesn't work HP will be giving me a new pc LOL Thanks again!

Thank you for your feed back. I'm glad the Registry cleaner did clean up the errors. Good for you:-) Is JV Power Tools a Freeware or Commercial software? If it is a paid Application, how much does it cost? M

Jv16 Power tools is a great program...have used it for years. Originally done by a grad student in Finland or Sweden as a free resource it is now for sale @ www.jv16.org. I am sure there is a trial version and it is about $25-29 with a ton of useful programs that were never in the free version. My forum heavily uses this and recommends it. I use mainly the front screen which shows the program reference points in the registry to aid with uninstalls. Many use the registry cleaner, but that thought scares me.

Rich Mentzel, Thank you very much for your comprehensive answer:-)I apprecaite it very much. M

Well, looks like it's infected again. Worked so well for a few hours and then started again this afternoon. I did a sytem restore for Windows XP and it's application files, but no luck and now it doesn't even load my network connection so I can't get it on the internet anymore.

Like I said b4 I scanned with Norton and it found nothing. SpyBot only found BackWeb Lite and deleted it. AdAware finds nothing. I have SpywareBlaster as well. Do you think maybe it's a Trojan being that it works fine for hours at a time during the night and the early morning?

You have to shut down the system restore before removing spyware or virus, or they will come back!

I had cautioned about System Restore being a sanctuary if the problem was an infection and ineffectiveness of the so-called Resistry- Doctors in general for their high price and low performance! I wished you backed up imporatant personal files during the small window of opportunity in which case Reformat and Reinstall could have been a curative therapy for the file damage from infection or from an otherwise inoccuous program like Roxio. Whatever way you find a definitive cure that lasts longer than 48 hrs, please let us know so we can all learn from this bizzare problem and its troubleshoot. M

Look at event viewer and you might have to set up a performance monitor to tell more. It may be what above suggest but I didn't read any tests.

I think the problem had to do with NEWDOTNET.COM. The PC with the primary internet connection was infected with it. HijackThis got rid of it. My PC had a couple of problems as well. Something like dcsearch or something like that. HijackThis got rid of it. Everything seemed fine for a little while, but my PC started having the same problems again. The PC with the primary internet connection has been fine through all of this, just my PC has been acting screwy. Now neither PC can see each other on the network and my Netgear WG311 Network Adapter doesn't load on startup on my PC and there is no option in MSCONFIG to do so either. SHould I post the Event Viewer logs here, they are very very very long?

As many of us have said more than once here, removing anything without shutting down the System Restore is scratching the itch!!!! You probably had it fixed, so you need to shut the SYSTEM RESTORE OFF, AND THEN DO ALL OF WHAT YOU DID ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!!! Rich M www.kickenhardware.net

Unless you use the ultimate weapon (Reformat & Reinstall) now and be on your homenetwork [another new piece of information for us:-)]you will win some battles against these critters but eventually lose the war as your paientce will wear thin and you might make some silly mistakes in one or the other of the steps and then eventually end up doing the Reformat after all these frustrations!

maadhurimn, You are right, I just didn't want to say it and get "jumped" by 13 "reformat to avoid death only" that lurk out here on these forums. The sheer waste of time trouble shooting and the resulting potential "brain damage" from failure is not worth it. For myself I have a 20 minute rule. I spend up to 20 minutes trouble shooting anything, and after that restore to last week with either Acronis or Ghost, my trusty companion now for about 6 years. I make an image file every week, eventually save one a month and also use a data and file backup program that I update just before taking the plunge backwards. Rich M www.kickenhardware.net

Rich Mentzel, I agree. After a reasonable trial of troubleshoot based on the analysed set of information about the problem as well as the Hardware/Software milieu of the Computer(s) and the Peripherals involved, when one starts to see diminishing returns from a long troubleshoot,one has to consider an all out assault on the defying problem even when there could be a potential loss of personal data in that process . I too use Ghsoting as an insurance against catastrophic loss of data and to save time in restoration of the entire system. Falling prices of Double- Layer DVD Burners and Discs have made storage a little more affordable and convenient. M

I shut off sytem restore and ran a hijack this scan, but the problems aren't there anymore, but I still have the problem.

maadhurimn, I should have mentioned I do it with a second internal hard drive and external 1394 drives as well. I just have not made the move into dvd burning yet, though I am looking.I suspect I will start with a Plextor external drive soon as I keep watching them on ebay. Cdrw's obnoxious corruption and slow speed, keep me away as I see the dvd speeds are as slow.Making an image file of 12 gb in 10-15 minutes is too hard to change from. And even better restoring in 8 minutes is "bliss". I have had so many bad experiences with cdrw's, I guess to I doubt I will ever really trust that media or anything similar.
