    Hi!

    I need help restoring my laptop to it's normal condition.
    I was watching movies/videos online 3days ago. Everything was fine but I feel asleep watching tv show on netflix. It jumps to the next episode but ask if you are still there after an episode. It was on all night but this is not unusual. The screen goes out and in the morning I exited full screen netflix back to browsing. Then shut my laptop which brings it to hibernation.
    The same night I opened the laptop and it turns on as usual. I resume the show and before it starts I notice the mouse jittery. Unusual. I restart. The desktop screen shows but no icons. Restart again. All good. Except...the mouse is slow again. Then I find out I can't type. I could tap keys but they have to be hit repeatedly. I have avast antivirus and ran it. Found a win32 kryptik cgd trj. I had avast delete it cuz repair was not possible. Did a boot scan and it found something in java cache. Deleted. Also deleted java cache manually. I ran all sorts of scanners before finding this site. After avast there was nothing detected. I did find an odd log in hijackthis and deleted it. It was an 01 local hosts 127.0.01 but in front of the numbers was a ā€yā€ with two dots on top and something that looked like a ā€pā€ but the vertical line extended up more. I now get an error sometimes at start up i think it was ntoskrnl.exe missing/corrupt


    Another thing I noticed is that the usb mouse I have works flawless if I disable my i8fangui.. It controls and monitors fan and temperature. It is always on force fans high. No problem ever till 3days ago. Turning this on slows the computer and usb mouse. I can't stream. Even warning sounds are distorted or jittery. This is worse with the gui prog on. Cpu temps are higher now. I used in front of window fan. same symptoms at low temps

    Last thing, my battery is no longer detected/working. I think this is recent.

    Thank you for helping. This is my only source of tv movie web ... Well I have my phone but not happy right now.

    Windowd xp 2002
    Dell inspiron e1705

    Thanks for the link.

    My laptop is running slow. I also backed up and removed a few gb of days. Perhaps this is a hardware failure? the computer ran pretty quickly until that one night. I'm talking extremely slow mouse movement and unable to type. Very strange. Especially since I didn't install any programs or download any files.

    Fixed it!
    The problem was the battery dead? Changed it and the system works like normal. Very odd.
