I have a strange problem - I don't know if this has happened to anyone else but it has never happened to me and I am very good with computers. I thought for sure I could have solved this one myself, but it just does not make sense.
I recently reformatted my hard drive and re-installed windows xp. I have done this quite a bit so I know what I'm doing here.
The problem is this - yesterday I noticed how long it took to load up my programs that only took a couple of seconds the day before. I haven't downloaded anything recently nor have I opened any programs that would cause such a long opening.
So, I restored it to an earlier time. When the screen of restore came back stating that it had been restored, my mouse and my keyboard did not work. So, I unplugged them (USB BTW) and plugged them back in - then they worked. So, I un-restored it to test it out - it did the same thing!
Why on earth would it do that?
I would appreciate ANY help anyone can give me!
Thanks so much!
