Re your comment about SP2 - No, after I ran the repair on Windows XP Pro, my system reverted to SP1. I still have the problem - my best guess is that it has something to do with setting up the NVidia card to do a cloned display on our LCD TV to show photos.
Go to Add/Remove programs and remove(uninstall) the following, if present:

Followed your instructions (WebRelated and R1 not present) and following is new scan:

Reviewing new scan, I found R1 and removed it. New scan follows, will reboot after thei sends:

Removed the last offending line, ran all the virus/spyware checkers as you recommended. No virus picked up by TrendMicro. Spybot & AdAware both found "Alexa" related files, which they removed/quarantined. Spybot also found "DSO Exploit" which was then removed.
Re-booted in 'SAFE' mode, ran SpyBot, Ad-Aware and Norton Anti-Virus. SpyBot again found an Alexa related registry, which it removed. Ad-Aware then ran and also found an Alexa file, whih it removed. Norton then ran and didn't find anything.
Re-booted in normal mode, computer now booting slowly. But, it did finally completely boot. Problem remains - keyboard and mouse inputs are slowly displayed. Seems like the cpu just can't keep up. The problem stared when I tried to use the NVidea card to display photos on my LCD TV - still think that somehow this is the source of the problem.
Hop over to the hardware forums and let someone there know that you want to perform a benchmark test for your system, especially the graphics card, and compare the results to a mean standard. That should tell you if your graphics hardware is working up to par. Then post your system specs and see if someone there can walk you through your hardware settings and make sure they're what they should be. I'm not familar with the graphics benchmarking programs that some of the power gamers use to test their systems.
-
Then check your keyboard and mouse settings and make sure they're correct; from the control panel "Printers and Other Hardware".
Let me know how it turns out.
Mike.

Latest input was to run repair of Windows XP Pro, then delete display adapter, then re-boot and allow Windows to find display adapter. Then download & install Nvidia's latest driver. Have done it all, still have problems. I did check the keyboard and mouse settings, reset them to defaults, as you suggested.
I'm stumped - in summary 1) the computer now boots much slower than before this all started, 2) the computer seems to respond slower to keyboard & mouse inputs, 3) the display lags the keyboard & mouse inputs, 4) Control Panel is now difficult to start, failing to load at least half the time, and 5) the computer will not recognize the MS wireless mouse (it found it and installed drivers for it after the Windows repair, but it doesn't work - the touchpad and buttons on the notebook do work).
I'm thinking of doing a full data backup and re-formatting the hard drive. This because of a note about the Windows repair which said it cannot repair registry problems, particularily those caused by an application outside of Windows. I'm thinking that when I kept trying to get the display to show on the TV, I somehow corrupted the registry.
Ok. Did you get any results back from a graphics benchmark test? To make sure you don't have a hardware problem? It would tell you if your graphics adapater isn't performing up to par for some reason.
Try lowering the resolution for your video display, reboot, then see if your having the same problem. It's almost sounds like DMA has been disabled for the video adapter and check hardware accelleration.
Make sure the video adapter isn't trying to output to both your monitor and lcd-tv at the same time (don't know if this would cause any problems - but it might be worth checking out).
But most importantly, we need to get the results of the graphics benchmark.
-
I just can't see how trying to use the secondary port on the back of the video card couldv'e corrupted the registry - of course it is Windows ... :)
Let me know what you find,
Mike.

Working to get graphics check from hardware board. Found four (4) monitors listed in Device Manager, uninstalled two - will report results following re-boot. Cpu appears normal, not maxed out. Lots of sharing/conflicts listed

O4 - Global Startup: Digital Line Detect.lnk = ?
Close all other apps. expecially the browsers and fix this one.
I reread your previous posts and they seem to be centered around the SP2 problem. Is that what you are still dealing with?

SawBuck,
This is the only entry that's remaining:
R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - ~CFBFAE00-17A6-11D0-99CB-00C04FD64497} - (no file)
Did any of these turn up anything?
1. Go to www.trendmicro.com and click "Free Online Scan". When it down, select all available drives, then click "Scan".
2. Running AdAware SE and Spybot

Mike;
Removed the last offending line, ran all the virus/spyware checkers as you recommended. No virus picked up by TrendMicro. Spybot & AdAware both found "Alexa" related files, which they removed/quarantined. Spybot also found "DSO Exploit" which was then removed.
Re-booted in 'SAFE' mode, ran SpyBot, Ad-Aware and Norton Anti-Virus. SpyBot again found an Alexa related registry, which it removed. Ad-Aware then ran and also found an Alexa file, whih it removed. Norton then ran and didn't find anything.
Re-booted in normal mode, computer now booting slowly. But, it did finally completely boot. Problem remains - keyboard and mouse inputs are slowly displayed. Seems like the cpu just can't keep up. The problem stared when I tried to use the NVidea card to display photos on my LCD TV - still think that somehow this is the source of the problem.

Mike;
You may be over my capabilities now...
I will need more specific input to run benchmarking, etc.
My digital photos display as usual. Playing solitare the cards now hang up.

Sawbuck,
Me too ... :smileyvery-happy:
-
Hop over to the hardware forums and let someone there know that you want to perform a benchmark test for your system, especially the graphics card, and compare the results to a mean standard. That should tell you if your graphics hardware is working up to par. Then post your system specs and see if someone there can walk you through your hardware settings and make sure they're what they should be. I'm not familar with the graphics benchmarking programs that some of the power gamers use to test their systems.
-
Then check your keyboard and mouse settings and make sure they're correct; from the control panel "Printers and Other Hardware".
Let me know how it turns out.
Mike.

Hi Mike;
Latest input was to run repair of Windows XP Pro, then delete display adapter, then re-boot and allow Windows to find display adapter. Then download & install Nvidia's latest driver. Have done it all, still have problems. I did check the keyboard and mouse settings, reset them to defaults, as you suggested.
I'm stumped - in summary 1) the computer now boots much slower than before this all started, 2) the computer seems to respond slower to keyboard & mouse inputs, 3) the display lags the keyboard & mouse inputs, 4) Control Panel is now difficult to start, failing to load at least half the time, and 5) the computer will not recognize the MS wireless mouse (it found it and installed drivers for it after the Windows repair, but it doesn't work - the touchpad and buttons on the notebook do work).
I'm thinking of doing a full data backup and re-formatting the hard drive. This because of a note about the Windows repair which said it cannot repair registry problems, particularily those caused by an application outside of Windows. I'm thinking that when I kept trying to get the display to show on the TV, I somehow corrupted the registry.
Any thoughts?

Sawbuck,
One thing i'd forgotten to ask: Is your cpu maxed out for some reason? Any process using an excessing amount of cpu time?
-
Also check Device Manager for any conflicts (hardware or software), and the Event Manager and see if anything's being reported there.
Good luck,
Mike.

Mike;
Working to get graphics check from hardware board. Found four (4) monitors listed in Device Manager, uninstalled two - will report results following re-boot. Cpu appears normal, not maxed out. Lots of sharing/conflicts listed
