The mouse is working fine and all the programs but as soon as i touch the keyboard it freezes, so i cannot type anything. PLease help, my husbund attempted to enter Safe mode but presing the f8 key caused it to freeze. I am not very good at fixing computers so please help. thank you Share this post Link to post
Sampson 0 Posted December 13, 2005 Since the mouse works. The first and easiest thing to do is to see if you have picked up a virus or trojan that may have caused it. Whatever program you have for anti-virus, run it. Then, if you have Ad-aware, spybot search and destroy or even microsoft's anti-spyware, run them. Do that first, then we will try other remedies.

Then install them. Share this post Link to post
billy noclue 0 Posted January 21, 2006 Had the same problem on my Packard Bell Easynote E2. Found a solution on the PB forum: http://forum.packardbell.com/en/viewtopic.php?t=34859 Basically you need to disconnect the power cable, take out the battery, and hold down the power button for about 30 seconds. I guess it resets the BIOS. Or something. Anyway, worked for me. Good luck. Share this post Link to post
