Keys and Mouse sometimes locks after Windows login

epkpers · 07-22-2008, 03:27 AM

Hi.

I have a problem with an Aspire 5003WLMi.
A search in this forum didn't match my problem.
I'm running Windows XP Home edition.
My computer works okay until getting a bit into the windows startup.
Then the keypad and the touch pad stops working.
At first I was suspecting a virus or something similar.
But virus scans using various scaners gave nothing.
It appears to me soething is consuming all the capacity of the processor.
I have reinstalled the Laptop using the backup CD's.
But he problem i still there.
I have noticed that the battery seems to be on it's last leg.
Could there be a connection between these problems?
MobileMeter shows 0 mw loading, capacity 3% on battery.

BR,

You said your reinstalled, was that a fresh install of XP?

How about trying a linux live CD or an XP/BartPE? Test your keyboard and Mouse in these environments if they behave the same. if not then it could be your XP home installation. if they do it could be hardware.

I did a re-install of XP since I thought it might be a virus.
All partitions was removed before installation.
It didn't make any difference.
I had to restart three times to be able to run th installation.

I did try puppy linux, and it worked perfectly on every restart.
Keyboard and Mouse worked perfectly!
The only problem I had was the wireless network.
I had to re-initiate it after every start.
Maybe it's the wireless that's misbehaving.
Couldn't a hardware fault on wireless cause windows to stop, or run very slow?
