Anna_s,

Open Task Manager and see which process is using all the CPU cycles. Once you have identified the culprit someone may be able to provide specific help.

Anna_s,

Download and install the driver listed for Dell USB/PS2 here and it should resolve the problem.

try to do msconfig, scan with antispyware, uninstall all unwanted programs, do defrag and scan for viruses. Goodluck!
