Have you had this problem before you reinstalled XP?
what kinda mouse is it? Might as well update the firmware, just in case

 

[muckshifter]

Your HJT log file is incomplete, the top bit is missing ... please post again, insure you post it all.

I don't know how/what you are doing, but your HJT log is messed up.


From what I can see, however, your HJT is clean of nasties.

 

[guest_9323wk]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Whats missing from the HJT log.


Thanks

 

[guest_9323wk]

Has any one got any ideas?

 

[Alf]

Could this be due to intels Speedstep tech? Im not entirely sure if this is the problem.
To disable speedstep, open power options (in control panel) and switch the power profile to Home/Office Desk or Always On. This will disable speedstep.

 

[V_R]

Speedstep needs to be disabled in BIOS.

 

[Alf]

Doh!

 

[guest_9323wk]

Hi,

Thanks for the replis.

Can someone please tell me where I can find Speedstep in the Bios.

Thanks,

 

[V_R]

I doubt speedstep is the problem, all it does is drop the multi to x6 from x9 when the pc is idle. This saves a little power.

 

[guest_9323wk]

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the info.

Would it be best to do a repair install of windows? or is this nothing to do with windows.

I would be much grateful if someone could please let me know.


wizkid

 

[V_R]

are all your drivers up to date? Motherboard, chipset, graphics etc?

 

[guest_9323wk]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes I have got all the latest drivers for that mother board and graphics card.

Any other ideas.

wizkid

 

[V_R]

So it ran fine before he reinstall then? You sure your not missing anything then?

 

[guest_9323wk]

Hi,

I think everting is fine but I have just found out that I have uesd the same Windows Disk in another computer and its doing the same thing.

Is it worth trying a repair install of windows with another Windows CD?

 

[guest_9323wk]

Does any think this is a Windows problem.

I have attched the other computer's specs that I am also having the same problems with.


Asrock AM2-NF6G-VSTA
