How can I fix my frozen mouse?

Question

I installed too much memory on my Presario 4000 (512 thanks to Best Buy's Geek squad). I took it out the next day when my daughter told me it was too much. BUT the mouse freezes after is boots up and Windows XP opens. I can't navigate.

What terrible thing have I done and how can I fix it?

Thanks

Susie

This question was answered on April 19, 2005. Much of the information contained herein may have changed since posting.

First,

Be sure to check the connection between the mouse and your computer, it may be loose.

If you have a wireless mouse, try replacing the current battery with a fresh one.

Second,

Try and close some programs that you do not need open at the moment. Having too many programs open will use up a lot of your computer's memory, which will cause the system to become nonresponsive (frozen).

Hope this helps!
