Help... No Mouse... Graphics messed up... among other things...

Help... Computer went haywire last night...

Was trying to open Adobe Acrobat reader when it locked up. Shut down computer and when it opened.. my graphics had gone to crap, colors were set on 16 instead of 256, MOUSE Not working at all... Having trouble using keyboard to run programs, but I did manage to get Hijackthis to run.

I know, HJT isn't in it's own file, but I'm lucky I figured out how to run it using my keyboard only. I had to download it, run it, save a log file and paste it in this thread without a mouse... what a pain!

Anyway, need some advice to what may be happening. Thanks for all who check it out and offer some solutions... !

ok... thought I was getting somewhere. I'm using my laptop to post this as my "infected" computer is getting sicker by the minute. I did get the mouse to work in safe mode finally, but now upon reboot again, the keyboard is now useless. It is a USB keyboard, and I've switched ports to no avail.

Mouse may work, but can't tell cause I can't get past the system startup menu (I changed the system utility to show start screen which allows you to select 1. for Normal or 3. for Safe mode.... but without keyboard... can't do anything.

Any other suggestions? Or should I toss it in the Mighty MO?

Thanks for all your help!

Your log is clean, so it is not a piece of malware that is causing this. You might have better luck trying in the Software forum.
