PC & MAC CLINIC - On line problem solving. (CPU)

What browser are you using?

Have just bought a new PC and it has a quirky problem. All running well except when I switch it on, the cursor is frozen. If I plug the mouse into a different USB port, it unfreezes. Doesn't matter which of the USB ports I use, it will only come to life if I switch it to another port. The problem is not the mouse though as I have tried another mouse and same problem occurs. Do you think I should take this back for a replacement or is there an obvious solution! Any help please appreciated.

Re my post 8302 - problem solved! Thanks.

Possible Conclusion:

A frozen mouse has got to eat so poster obviously fed the mouse some cheese. Most probably warm toasted cheese and with a glass of USB port.

LOL ExecLine! The mouse isn't called Big Al..but then it would probably need Armagnac to revive!

Welcome to "c0ck-up" time.

I inadvertently disabled my customer account on my dell laptop, and needless to say I can't now get in when I boot up. Nor will it let me in as administrator. How can I get round it or is it a case of re-installing XP?

Thanks

I'm not sure how to solve your problem.

However, if it happened to me, I'd ring my home town experts at

http://www.computerdoctors.uk.net/care/index.htm

I guess you aren't a customer of theirs (yet?) but, because they are so phenominally extremely helpful, perhaps you might well be soon.

As you can see they can give you pointers over the phone and maybe sometimes even remotely take over control of your computer.

Their service will cost you 84 for a full year. To get a 'student geek type bod' out to your home (if you even know one) could cost you 30 to 50. I think 84 is utterly brilliant value!

A damaged cable could be a problem, but a good ethernet cable is capable of speeds 2o times that of broadband so it is not often apparent.

If it is the cable, you are unlikely to be able to fix it so get a new one. One way to check the cable is to log in to the management console of your ADSL router. If that loads OK then it is more likely to be a broadband problem.

Check out this site for a utility to reset the Administrator password.

Thank you Exec & Optimist.

I've downloaded the utility and will have a go tomorrow

Deleted as fault appears to have sorted itself out. Sorry if anyone had started to waste time on my original post.

Exec & Optimist.

The utility you suggested has worked a treat. It took me a little while to get my head round it and summon up the bottle to have a go. When I did I was pretty simple & straightforward and worked a treat.

Thanks very much for your help, it's saved me the hassle of having to re-install and reload everything. Much appreciated.

It's not until you do your internet banking to transfer some funds to someone for an internet purchase and your wife, who is sat at the side of you takes the PIN call from the bank and deals with it, that you later begin to realise about the kind of world in which we are living in.

Can anyone spot anything wrong with a situation such as this?

Kayak - 31 Jul 2009 14:28 - 8320 of 11003

Of course. You shouldn't have given your wife access to your money.
