    I fixed my computer problems last night.

    I went digging in the closet and found a few old keyboards I had, I tried 3 different ones and all worked fine.
    For some reason this system is picky on what mouse and keyboard I use.

    I ended up using a Saitek keyboard that has no extra keys or programmable buttons and the same with the mouse just a cheap non programmable button mouse, that tells me it is software related to the drivers for programing the mouse and keyboard.

    My windows 7 machine decided it didn't like my recently purchased Razer Copperhead gaming mouse. It's working in one of my older PC's. I put my old Razer Diamondback in and it works just fine. Go figure. Oh, the Diamondback was in the machine the Copperhead is now in. *shrug*

    I about killed myself with your line about letting wifey experience the frustration. My woman always pushes those types of things off on me. It's good for them to experience it from time to time. I hope you get this resolved quickly and easily. Sucks when your PC isn't doing what it's supposed to!

    Well, I think the saga has finally ended for this laptop.

    I won't bore anyone with the details, but there were a few more hurdles until they sent a replacement...which still didn't connect to wifi.

    Anyway, today, while I was doing some plumbing, wifey spent some more time with tech support, and they got it all sorted out.

    Doing some windows updates, and some software installs, and we should be good to go!

    That's good news!

    I think both you and wifey deserve a good cigar for not going postal on anybody over this!
