I have been working this issue on the Security & Virus Support Board.  We now think we may have a problem with the Graphics Display Adapter.

 

Background:  I tried to show digital photos on our LCD TV - Had many problems, never could get TV to display full screen.  Then problems started with computer.  I raun repair of Windows XP Pro, then delete display adapter, then re-boot and allow Windows to find display adapter.  Then download & install Nvidia's latest driver.  Have done it all, still have problems.  I did check the keyboard and mouse settings, reset them to defaults.

I'm stumped - in summary 1) the computer now boots much slower than before this all started, 2) the computer seems to respond slower to keyboard & mouse inputs, 3) the display lags the keyboard & mouse inputs, 4) Control Panel is now difficult to start, failing to load at least half the time, and 5) the computer will not recognize the MS wireless mouse (it found it and installed drivers for it after the Windows repair, but it doesn't work - the touchpad and buttons on the notebook do work).

Mike (Midnight Star) suggests "Hop over to the hardware forums and let someone there know that you want to perform a benchmark test for your system, especially the graphics card, and compare the results to a mean standard. That should tell you if your graphics hardware is working up to par. Then post your system specs and see if someone there can walk you through your hardware settings and make sure they're what they should be."

Can someone help?

Thanks,
