Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)
I have read literally dozens of user comments with
simelar problems to mine. My keyboard and mouse lock up
randomely. I am convinced this is a software (windows)
problem because I can stop it if I remove all programs
from my "Startup" menu periodically. In the old DOS
days, this operation was performed on exit of a program
with what was called "House Cleaning". This however does
not seem to be happening with Windows XP.
For some reason, I cannot get a response from Microsoft
except "Contact your equipment manufacturer". If one
reads the multiple comments from users with multiple
different machines, Windows XP seems to be the ONLY
common denominator. My System profile is :- 2.4 Gig
Intel Celeron Processor. 256MB DDR SDRAM. 80 hard
drive.
If anyone has a suggestion on how to automatically stop
programs from being stored in the "Start" menu, please
let me know.
