    Sounds like a worm or sumkind of virus intefering with ur input commands....u gotta get rid of ur operating system and reinstall it.

    if u havent got the windows disk then call the computer technicians to help. Formating ur hdd through 'dos' should kill off any harmful..well any kind of software u had installed. after ur new windows has been installed then install the other support softwares u need for graphics, sound etc.

    could be possible virus activity...

    disconnect the physical internet connection. unplug the computer or try the button on the power supply (back of computer) to power off. restart the system and select F8 to start in Safe Mode. Run anti-virus protection and reboot the system. re-connect the Internet connection once the system can boot normally...

    It could be a virus or malware. try rebooting the system, ifit stays the same you may have to wipe clean your hard drive..I use pctools spyware Doctor and it works great against malware, and spyware.

    ummmm I got 3 unfortunate words for you: System Default CD.

    It clears out the hard drive which deletes everything unless you backed everything up and it gets rid of the virus you have on there. so you will have to do that.
