OMG OMG !!! It's WORKING finally !!
I found the PROBLEM... The GD battery pack in the laptop was causing
all this freeze up and cursor and keyboard and system freeeeezing up
problems !!!
Not any virus or spyware or anything
I was already running for couple years mainly using the AC plug
but the battery was working for good amount of first few years - bc could
pull the ac plug and walkaround with laptop and still work fine for 5-10
minutes
but about 1 montgh ago I noticed quickly that pulling the ac plug the
laptop would immediatley go DEAD and blank out (power off endofstory) and
(Yellow led lite on front of laptop was no longer comin On). So I knew the
battery looked like it was useless to holding any more charges.
(I thought really this freeze up was more related to the high heating up
undeside of laptop ... it gets pretty hot - but been doing that almost from
start 3-4 years ago... I think all laptops do this too )
So.... out of blue - tonite I just tried unlocking/detaching the Battery
completely from underneath the laptop and with AC plug still as usual
plugged in (the Green little led lite on front comes on as usual - no longer
any Yellow battery led lite comes on)
and the laptop powers up
and PRESTO !!! AMAZING !!!!
Now.. suddenly...
I can EVEN bypass the disk chking blue screen by hitting any key....
Now I know I've made progresss since the laptop is responding immediately
to the keyboard EVEN before Windows gets loaded and even before get to
the Users Logon screen.
Once I get the Logon screen I can FINALLY move the cursor (finger)
around anywhere on screen and successfully logon as Adminstrator or
regular user...
And once Windows desktop comes up and nw turns which seems much fasterrr
now... I can freely move the arrow cursor (like normal ) finally anywhere
around the screen and EVERYTHING is runnning normal again.
ALL I need to do now - is go back and re-enable the Windefender, Spybot
services in Startup and get the full Normal bootup to come back on.
And then re-apply the MS Security updates/patches will have failed over
last few days. And re-run a FULL Spybot and Windefender scan.
And then re-create my Restore Points. (even tho that was useless as a
recovery method - they all gone blown away duyring this cursor freeeze up
fiasco)
(Thanks Microsoft !)
*******
Sooooo - Anybody out there - TRY pulling out your Battery pack if it
has any non-charging or issues and try running off AC plug all by
itself !!!!!!!!!
*******
Geeez - I would have thought the GD Battery driver sw would have handled
this !!
And of course in the Device troubleshooter windows it says the both
Battery drivers a re working properly ! Yeh SURE !!! Great sw Microsoft !
I'm surprised NOONE out there hasn't already run into this on these
crappy Laptops and could have advised this to me and others long ago
Thanks Dave for the tips....
I wll go back with my:
1. WinDefender - free and works
2. Spybot Search & Destroy free and works good
..... and doubtful will go with Windows OneCare - Microsoft is just
trying to crowbar $45 subscription out of me and counting the days down to
shut me off from its use.... great!
Thanks everyone! Hope you learn from my pain!
Phil
