Sorry to bother you again, but I have had a repeat of yesterday's problem of a 'frozen' mouse. When I boot up, my laptop gets as far as the Windows logo - and I can't do anything after that! I have tried inserting the recovery drive, but there is no response from Mouse nor from touch pad. I would like to back all my files up to a memory stick before I take the laptop to my 'friendly neighbourhood computer shop' - or are you going to tell me to take it straight there in the morning?
As ever, I am in your hands; I respect your advice and apologize for giving you another headache!
Many thanks in advance.

Sorry for the delay in replying; I've only just seen your post. Have you checked (as in my previous post) that your touchpad isn't simply disabled? (If it is, you might just have a dodgy mouse). Accessing the contents of your laptop's hard drive can be tricky if you've got no mouse or touchpad. I'd suggest getting your local techie to back up your files before he...

Thanks again for your reply.
I am running Windows 7 SP1 64 bit. I just had a look at the links you advised me of - talk about spoilt for choice!
I will try to sort it for myself, with your guidance please, and if I have to admit defeat, then I am sure my 'tame techie' will be able to help. Unlike the Answer Bankers, he demands payment!
Sadly, my old mate, joe.s-b, died a couple of weeks ago, he was 92, but he put me in touch with you in the first place.
Many thanks for all your help.

Thanks for your reply. I was sorry to read about joe.s-b.
Here's what I'd try (after ensuring that the BIOS is configured to look a for bootable USB drive first):

However, since I've never needed to use such a device myself, I can't be sure what you'll see when you boot from it. A bit of 'playing' might be called for!

Very many thanks for all the guidance and information. I will purchase the bits and pieces, which probably won't arrive until Wednesday or Thursday now, so you will have a couple of days rest from me (DV). Busy day tomorrow, and in the evening is our first rehearsal for our next concert - GREAT!
I will bid you good night and give you a bit of peace. Thank you again for everything.
How many tots do I owe you now?

SORRY TO HAVE WASTED EVERYBODY'S TIME!!!
I have a huge amount of egg on my face, having taken my laptop to my tame techie! I gave up on the idea of trying to sort it myself. To cut a long story short - it was the mouse after all! My sincere apologies to you all, especially Buenchico for all your patience and advice.
THANK YOU ALL, VERY MUCH!!
