Default Sluggish cursor movement

Hi.

In another thread there was a discussion about spyware. I followed some of
the advice given and now all of a sudden, the cursor movement is sluggish.
Also, when I boot up, my password is sometimes rejected two or three times
even though I am being careful in typing. Sometimes I have to click on a
link three or four times before it works.

My machine is a Packard Bell desktop with 32-bit OS Vista plus SP1.

Any suggestoins?

John

Yes, I have a suggestion. Tell us exactly what advice you followed,
exactly what you did, and exactly why you did it. Without that info,
nobody can help you.

I downloaded two antispyware programs, Antimalware and Superantispuyware.
They didn't find anything wrong. That's all I did, I think.

Downloading, installing, and running either or both of these is not
responsible for your problems.

I hate to be a pest but I still have this problem of a sluggish and
unreliable cursor. I've done some browsing but without success (probably
because I'm not using the best search search words). What sort of thing
MIGHT be causing this? If I had a clue, I might be ale to remember what I
could have done.

Please help.

If you can't, can you at least suggest where else I might ask?
