screen and stayed frozen. I had to press button to switch off computer and
then restart. After the usual start-up procedure the desktop icons came into
place but the mouse remained frozen. I tried to access BIOS setup page by
pressing F2 when prompted but there was no response. My mouse remains frozen
and BIOS set-up inaccessible. My operating system is Windows WP Home
Edition, two Gb memory, 250Gb hard drive. Please help. Thanks.
