Tempermental IBM

[ayabrea38]

I know it is a funny bug to work with,but my 2nd PC an IBM is a temperamental little thing and I wondered if anyone else had come across these problems
1.If you press on the top of the housing,sometimes it works,sometimes it tell you there is no OS installed and to go away.
2.The mouse wheel sometimes works for a bit when you first put the system on(and by a bit I mean from a millisecond to about 10 mins)Then stops.
Any ideas?????
I have tried another mouse(doesent like a non USB mouse)

1) stop pressing the top of the housing then!, or seriously, no idea without knowing if it's a laptop or a desk top and what model (and then it's obviously a physical problem, so will be nearly impossible to distance diagnose, take apart and remake all connections to the hard drive is only thing I can say)

2) possibly loading drivers for a different mouse from it's past. look in add remove programs and remove any old mouse software and make sure you have the drivers installed for current mouse if any are available.

I was only pressing the top(desktop net vista 8303 21G)to try and sort the mouse!!
Thanks Chuck,will try the drivers then taking the thing apart-then hopefully not throwing it out the window
You are still a star!
