Default O.T. Missing Folder/files

I read all your info,. and bookmarked the cases and the 55mb file
thanks *s*

btw I liked your comment,... if the mouse fell into a bowl of chili *L*

I was a bit premature with the mouse and my backspace key
still doesn't function. I didn't spill anything etc to cause this it
just stopped functioning like the mouse is too sensitive when I
open/close things it keeps on going and closes or opens more
than I want. Like the Dell Imaging example I gave you.

So how do I restore my backspace key and mouse so they are
back to 'normal'? hmm I have to check and see if I have a spare
mouse or maybe I should just buy a new one?

What do you think about restoring the 8500 with the last Mrimg?
wouldn't that restore all the bookmarks and maybe fix the mouse
and backspace problem or maybe do a system restore? Although
I'm a bit iffy of doing so until I have a backup Win 7 Pro created.

Ok, this just happened,.....

How weird, the 8500 just started up like it was a fan going and then
died down again! and now alls quiet! I have never heard it do that!
Whats going on ? That was very weird!!!

p.s. while were talking about mice, I haven't seen any since you gave
me the great advice 8 months ago?


Thoughts/suggestions?
Robert



You should open Task Manager and see if something is
using CPU cycles. Maybe you have a coin miner running
on the machine, complements of some malware or something.

Usually on Dells, the fan only goes to "high speed",
if the register that controls it hasn't been loaded yet.
When the programming logic is present, it uses lesser
setting values and does not sound like a vacuum cleaner.

Whatever is going on, it sounds like it's interfering
with hardware.

Yes, restoring from a backup might be something to try.
Maybe we're past the point of testing another mouse,
for correct operation.
