Cursing the cursor

Hi = First time talker - long time looker - - LOL
I've been looking the last coupla days at the threads, posts and searched for answers but have not found anything. Some similar and tried a few things but still have a problem. WinXP- SP3 - Computer locks up at random intervals always when I am moving the cursor - EVERYTHING locked - no keyboard - no Ctrl - Alt - Del - - I left it til the morning once - only way to get it going is reset or restart. Tried a different mouse - drivers for mouse and display -
Don't know much - do know I am stalled with this. I hope someone has an answer. Thanx for your time and attention.

Do you try to Safe Mode checking if it's the same situation as Normal Mode ? Are you checking your machine about virus ? You can download this utility

Welcome to the MG Forums!

I do not have an answer for you, but some questions that may help other forum members to help you:
- is that something that started recently, all of a sudden, or has that been happening for a long time?
- what are these random intervals - every few minutes, or hours, or days?
- Ctrl+Alt+Del does nothing; how about other keyboard shortcuts like Alt+Tab (switch between open program windows), or Ctrl+Esc (Start menu)?

 

Thanx - hope this reply is right?

 

Nothing seems to work on keyboard
intervals range from minutes to hours.

 

I have been using AVG for anti-virus/ spyware - - should I also use the Super? I have usually had more than one - but somewhere on your site I read about disabling all but one for the purpose of your diagnosing?

 

Do you try a different keyboard ? Yes you must run Super , you can download this tool

http://www.majorgeeks.com/CCleaner_Standard_d5125.html

you have to launch the programme
From the left side you can choose Tools ( third tab )
From the left column choosing Startup ( second tab )

disabling all except for antivirus , after that you have to inspect the situation of your computer :wave

 

I am ready for this - "after that you have to inspect the situation of your computer "

 

I disabled the items using CCCleaner and installed SUPER - found one AD thing - and the cursor thing happened again a little while later - I had just let loose one blast of nasty names and was recharging my lungs when the screen went black for an instant and then all came back on - working great - been a few hours now - ? Hoping - - -

 

I have added a new keyboard - done the SUPER thing again - - still have the problem.
After reboot I get a message I have seen a couple times before but not for a while - -
"Could not load file or assembly 'MOM.Implementation,Version=2.0.25313,CULTURE=neutral,PublicKeyToken=906a9c70f846762e' "
(I don't like to be such a pain in the butt!)
Thanx again for your time and attention,
Tom

 

I appreciate your attention. What can the Ser# be used for?

 

I appreciate your help. I did that and it kept coming up with more 'files'/ it could not find. I went back to ATI website and , further down the page, found where it said I needed to use an older 'set of drivers?' - 'install?' - anyhoo - I re-installed the older release and it seems to be working. Thanx for your direction - I like to learn. Take good care.

 

Still cursing -

 

"after that you have to inspect the situation of your computer" - - Would you tell me where to start on this, please?
