    Mouse on my Dads laptop stops working each time he tries to fill in any word in any field ie password, username etc. I have no clue what the story is with it but am suspicious that he may have been fiddling with the settings! Can anyone please advise me on what I can do to fix the problem? Thanks!:)
    Ok it seems now that the whole keyboard just stops working whenever he goes to type anything....any ideas?

    What type of mouse is it? USB, PS2, wireless, what make etc etc.

    Sounds like a software thing, I would probably start by reinstalling any software that came with it, if software did come with it.

    I'd uninstall any SW. No sensible mouse needs any SW installed since about 1989.

    Try a different browser (FF 3.5 is huge step up in performance) if it's only on the Web.

    Also check for malware / keyloggers, but usually they are so good you'd never notice them.

    Try classic Theme and "max performance" on GUI settings (Which OS?).
