Frozen cursor
« on: November 12, 2012, 01:08:53 PM »
What do you do when the mousey thing refuses to move the cursor arrowy thingy please?
Tried cleaning the lense with the red light shining out of it wotnot before you suggest like too.

Done it twice lately, last time this morning, and ended up having to press the re-boot button to turn this heap of shitty nasty digital witch craft machinery  off. Banghead

Pressed every piggin button on the keyboard to no avail. Tried the 'twatting it' fix too, but even that didn't werk.  crash:  noooo:

It plugs into a 'ole in the back of this creature.
Is that what you mean?

It's got a wire hanging out of its arse, so it's not a 'wireless' one if that's what you meant. confused:

Been alright since, and only done it twice this year, but sssssso annoying when you've tapped out a load of crap but can't move the arrowy thing to the 'send' box. Banghead
Lost the lot i did. cussing:

Mine stops if you put the mobile phone too near it.

Pulling the plug out of the PC then putting it back seems to cure it.
