Howdy!,

EarIier I wrote about the Mouse being clicked on a opened window on the
desktop and nothing happening.

A lot of times I "Cured" that by Restarting XP and then being able to see
the Mouse doing what I was wanting "IT" to do.

Yesterday, after that happened again, instead of Restarting XP I tried Hibernating instead.

After the Pilot Light on the Power Button turned OFF, I waited One Minute
and then pressed the Poser Button.

I was delighted to see the Mouse Clicks I made did what I was wanting done.

HMMM??????, I would had thought Hibernating XP just Saved the Settings
As They Were at the time XP started Hibernating and used THOSE SETTING
as they were Saved on the HD to "Refresh" all of the Settings as they
were.

I am VERY GLAD that choosing to Hibernate instead or Restart "cured"
whatever setting that was causing the Mouse not to do what "I" wanted
"IT" to do.

My way of "thinking" is the Restarting Option takes longer to Shut Down XP,
and a long time to get XP to show the Log On screen after it began
Restarting.

Hibernation seems to be quicker to Shut Down XP and not as long of a wait
for the Log On screen to show up on the screen.

But what do I know about all this PC stuff?

I'm glad to write a Good Report about happenings in my computer room instead
of belly aching about the troubles that bother me.

Yes, its good to hear, but I would look into fixing this at the source rather than just hibernating. I remember this problem happened with the Synaptics mouse driver.

You say I have a "'winning' smile", when I know I caused some Readers to
GRIN or have a good GIGGLE when they read what I wrote.

But I do try for that effect when I write messages here.

When I read: "fixing this at the source" I thought about the person sitting
on the chair with the keyboard in his lap, typing this Reply.

My wife has tried that for over 50 Years and still hasn't got that fixed.

I suppose Windows XP has the "Synaptics mouse driver" - Wait I'll Look...

Occasionaly during the Year I go to a CMD Prompt and type DIR C: /-p then
when it finished listing all on the C: HDD I type DIR C: /-p >> to send
the listing to a .TXT File to look at later whenever I desire to do so.

I opened the latest .TXT File and used SYNAP to Find any Filenames that
had those characters and saw:

a Ask Woody article in December 2017 about a 'HP SYNAPTIC Keylogger",
a UBUNTU option
and a Wikipedia Article

with those characters in the Filename.

I could use Agent Ransack to see if those characters show up in inside any
File but that takes a long time for it to complete so I won't.

If there is a a Driver on this XP pc with those characters in the File
Agent Ransack will find it, I'm sure.

Istead

I'll just finish this message and boot it out towards the Capita City Online BBS.
