re: Mouse /Keyboard Freezes if left on overnight Thursday, June 1, 2006 at 7:42 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Chas (2 messages posted) Thanks for your response Geng. I can see how misuse of the word mousepad could cause confusion - but having said that maybe I've invented something - USB2 connected!!!! My system info is ... Windows 98 4.10.2222 A Clean install using Full OEM IE 5 6.0.2800.1106 GenuineIntel Intel(r) Celeron(tm) Processor 128MB RAM 55% system resources free Windows-managed swap file on drive C (4216MB free) Available space on drive C: 4216MB of 9419MB FAT32 How much useless junk are you running? The following were found at startup which when I enquired on google I came up with the following... zztp - keystroke logger - I have unchecked it but is still there once I do all below!! scanregw - looks genuine as its takes a backup daily - no action taken. NWEReboot - Nero file but possibly not required no -action taken. AR2507MON - ***unknown-not found on google - pls advise*** TkBellExe - Realplayer file which I have unchecked but now appears twice, once checked and once unchecked!!! Suggested action is to rename to .OLD and also rename EVNTSVC to .OLD - pls advise. PL2515.exe - ***not clear on google what I should do - no action taken*** QTTASK.EXE - Movie Player - now unchecked. mstask.exe - no action taken but probably ok. KB891711 - a Microsoft fix which may or may not be a problem - no action taken. I have downloaded and run Adaware (got rid of 404 instances), Spybot (16), latest AVG (0) and ZoneAlarm (0) - I already had AVG and Zonealarm running. I have also turned off email scanner in AVG as it is also running in ZoneAlarm - is that a good decision???? I also took the actions to increase my security and privacy settings but they made IE unusuable so I have reset them to Medium as I have adequate security as above. So having done all the above the problem still occurs. Could it relate to AVG which I have got running on an automatic schedule as follows... Test Plan in basic mode 5.00am Update Plan in basic mode 03:43am You gave me a fair bit of work to do which has clearly helped already. Thanks for the help for far and appreciate any further help.
