Hello all, I'm having this very annoying problem, its actually an ongoing issue. Sometimes when I boot up my computer and like log on to lets say AIM and try to type someone a message I'll enter the text field and then my cursor locks up, I can't move my mouse or anything and it will stay like that til I reboot, it won't even let me ctrl alt del it. Any ideas as to what is causing this? I mean it literally just freezes...not the computer..but the cursor..i can still reboot properly with the tower power key...hrm..just kinda urksm e...thanks in advance --WiLL

http://sft-cyber.com/Re%20Win.htm Sometimes a program, bad driver or conflicts that destroy or corrupt files will necessitate a reinstallation. WinXP will replace damaged or corrupted files without disturbing your data or registry settings so that these will still be available to you. 1. Boot from the WinXP CD 2. Select set up WinXP(ENTER) 3. Windows will find an existing copy of itself and give you the option to repair the highlighted installation 4. WinXP will copy the necessary files to your HD and install --------------------- http://rogier.xszone.nl/windows/wintricks.html http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/proddocs/winnt32.asp http://www.labmice.net/articles/winntcmd.htm • Reinstall XP and keep all your current installed applications and settings .
