| | My computer locks up Recently, like for the last 2 to 3 days my computer locks up whenever I leave it running for 10 to 20 minutes and I am not around it,, when I come back the mouse is locked in place and the screensaver is frozen in place. I have to do a manual shut down and restart to get back to work, This is very anoying and I wonder what causes it to freeze like this. The computer is a HP dv6235ca running on Vista Home premium. I would appreciate any help on this one Thanks in advance |

| | Re: My computer locks up Recently I had to re-install AOL vr because I was having problems starting it and I notice errors on the same date because I had to make a few attempts at downloading it as it was locking. I tried the solutions option you suggested but the answer is "there is no solution to this problem at this time." Anything else I could try like remove Aol from my computer and re-install...I'm not sure how I can do this??
