Very strange this just started happening earlier in the week on my laptop.
Did a scan on the system and all is clean. i am able to use the laptop up untill i have to input something into a input textfield, this could be a webpage or an app.

Stange thing is when i say it freeze's i mean that i am unable to interact with the computer via mouse or keyboard. So i then have to shut down the computer and start again.

does this sound familiar to anyone?

Thanks

I haven't heard of this problem, but...

You could always try using system restore to "roll back" your computer a couple of weeks. It's worth a shot. It shouldn't hurt anything and it could fix your problem.

If that doesn't work, maybe it's a good time to do a format and reinstall :)

I tried to do a rolback last night but the laptop was having none of it.
It just said it could perform the rollback.

I Would do a re-install but i dont know how to access the systm back up install files
that are on un active portion of my hardrive.

I cant seem to activate this portion so that i can burn the files to cd.

Any ideas?
