That's not the problem. Now I notice that when dragging a window with my mouse or scrolling down with the wheel to read text, there is a jerking motion. Before everything crashed, it was a very smooth movement. Can anyone please help? I've played with all the settings and it's driving me nuts!                   Thanks.

Are you using a wireless mouse?  I have the same problem with my Logitech wireless mouse.  It turned out that the receiver was too close to the computer. After I moved the receiver away from the PC, the mouse movement is fine now.

No wireless mouse here. Like I said, all was well till my PC crashed. Any more suggestions?

Take out the ball, clean it and the dust inside, worth a look.
