Hey people. Seens as though this is general, I have a general question for you. Lately my Pc has started to go reallly slow, takes ages to boot up etc. Anyway, all of a sudden, the mosue just froze, did the usual thing, re-booted, same thing, still frozen. So I switched of, checked wires, switched it on again, and the same thing, it won't move any where. Pain in the ass. I can only just about get to here and type this. Please someone help. It's a 'wireless optical' mouse and keyboard.

Check the IR sensor, try a normal mouse on it, if mouse works then you know it is the IR problem.

Problem solved. Occasionally you have to set up the channel frequency for it. I hadn't needed to do it for a while so was a bit flustered. Just remembered the when you said 'IR'. Thanks for replying.

How much stuff do you have on your PC could be lagging due to much stuff stored on your hard drive /or it could be a conflict between drivers Thumbs Up

It happened the other day WILDECELT, I was just on BCF and went to open another internet page and it just slow down so much. I had three web pages open. Then, I opened a fourth. But, it wouldn't open, it took ages and ages but nothing, I closed each of the three that was open down, but it wouldn’t let me so I had to choose the 'End Now' box. So I decided to restart windows, logged on to my account and waited for everything to start up. It took a little longer than normal. And ever since then it has just been really slow. I haven’t ever really downloaded anything to make it too much, I always try to keep my disk usage under 20GB. It has a capacity of 80.

I rebuild mine once per year. Keeps it sharp and working well.

Also gets rid of all the cr4p on the machine.
