Can anyone tell me why my mouse cursor freezes? It's so frustrating as although I am still connected, I can't do anything so I have to reboot again.
I have had a bad day today as far as the pc goes. All in all I think I must have re-connected about 10 times. Sometimes I get cut off or else have "freezes". I have no viruses as I have done a scan & am up to date with my virus definitions. Is there something I can do to make my pc work better? Also if the mouse cursor freezes again is there any way I can rectify it without having to reboot & start all over again???
I am having to repay from the start every time I have to reconnect. I currently have "infinitcall" which basically means I pay a fee every month with Telkom so that if one wants to stay on line for a long time they can do so & it wont charge more than R7.50. Now, this would be great if I could only stay on line without getting cut off or having freezes. My next telephone bill is going to be so high because of all the re-connections I'm having to do.
My pc is quite old & I am wanting to either upgrade or buy a better pc as soon as I can but in the meantime I have to plod on regardlessly.
Sometimes I can stay on line for a couple of hours or so, other times I'm not so lucky. Fortunately I am still connected now to post this thread.
Well, I feel better having put this down & having a good old moan.
Any computer boffs out there wanna give me some tips? I would be most grateful.
