If you are having problems with your mouse pointer in Windows XP, try to adjust the hardware acceleration. Adjusting the hardware acceleration will allow you to set the way Windows works with the video card and driver. A lower setting might be needed if the video driver cannot exchange information with the video card and the Operating System at an accelerated rate. Go to Start/Control Panel. Click on Display. Then, select Settings and Advanced. Next, select Troubleshoot and adjust Hardware Acceleration. Hardware Acceleration should be set to Full if your computer has no problems.
You will need to experiment with the setting to see which one works best. First, adjust the hardware acceleration one notch to the left. This setting might resolve your mouse pointer problem. Restart your computer and test before adjusting again. Do not adjust all the way to the left as this could give you unpredictable results.

Network Connectivity Problems because your Wireless Switch is turned off
Many mobile laptops have a wireless switch on the front or side of the computer to enable or disable the wireless radio. This functionality is usually added to allow laptop usage on an airplane or in other areas with radio sensitive environments. The user can switch off the wireless radio to enable usage of the laptop. It could be an actual hardware switch or a led light by the keyboard triggered by a combination of keystrokes such as Fn, Ctrl, Alt in combination with function keys ranging from F1 to F12. If you have a switch, make sure it is turned on in order to receive a wireless connection.
If you don't know how to turn on or off your laptop's wireless radio, consult the laptop manufacturer, or check the link below for a list various laptop models and their corresponding wireless radio switches.

Free up space on your hard drive
Your computer is running low on disk space and causing it to respond slowly. You want to know what files are not needed so you can free up space on your hard drive.
You should be able to delete all files with .CHK or .TMP extensions. Files with .CHK extension are created by the Check Disk (Chkdsk) utility, which allows you to examine a hard disk for errors. Files with the .TMP extension are temporary files. Sometimes temporary files are not deleted, as in the case of system failures.
You should not delete files with the .EXE or .COM extension. These are executable files that run programs.
You should not delete files with the .OCX or .DLL extension. .OCX files are ActiveX controls and .DLL files are dynamic link libraries. Both types of files are loaded by executable programs.
You should not delete files with the .SYS extension. These are system driver files. They are required to enable the operating system to communicate with hardware devices.
Disk Cleanup is a Windows XP tool that searches for files you can safely delete. See the link below to see how to use the Disk Cleanup tool in Windows XP.
