Re: Keyboard and mouse lock up

You might want to check and see if it locks up if you leave it on any other
website. Maybe just that one is doing something that continually uses
memory.
Other than that, it's possible that the same amount of time you are on
everyday represents the same amount of surfing you are doing and you are
just uisng up all you resources. Check the bottom left hand corner of your
screen and list how many things are in that box. Most software wants to
install itself to automatically load when you install it. That means, that
even though _you_ didn't open and use it, it has already done it. So the
affect is that when many people start their computer, they are already close
to the end of their resources because of the software which wants to load
itself. If you find you have all kinds of things in that corner, like
Adaptec Cd burner, any program you recognize that you don't use everyday,
take it out. If you don't know what it is, LEAVE IT ALONE. The way you
do this is, click on START, then RUN, then type in msconfig, click OK.
When that opens, look in the start tab to find out what has decided to load
itself every time you boot up. Uncheck programs that you recognize and
don't need started every single day. Click APPLY and OK to save your
changes. Oh, and stay out of the other tabs, that's bad trouble to mess
with them.
