I have a very strange problem. I am running XP Pro SP-2 on my Fujitsu laptop. It has worked fine up until about two weeks ago.
If I receive an email with a web link, I can click on the link and then I get a blank page in the format of my web home page but nothing fills in. I can wait and wait and nothing happens but, if I move the mouse, immediately the web page will appear. If on that page, I "search" for something, I can type in the request and press "search" but nothing happens. I can wait and wait but, if I move the mouse, the request is processed immediately etc. In other words, if I constantly move the mouse, it works fine and fast on all web pages.
I use Mozilla and Explorer and it does the same in both. I can unplug my external mouse and keyboard and it still does the same.
So, I scanned with AVG and cleaned with CCleaner plus cleaned up the register. All still the same.
So, I went to Windows update and it will not work. I get "Windows update error # 0x80070424 can't display page." It said I could download "FixIt" and that would automatically fix it but when I try that it will not run and I get a message that I needed to remove it because Microsoft does not support it any more.
OK, does anyone have an idea? Many thanks.
