Do you have the discs which came with your PC?

Enter the bios by pressing F2 during the first seconds of the boot. Then look for "restore to factory settings".
If that doesn't work the look for the graphic/monitor settings and try to change settings.

Good luck and let me know how it goes

Do a system recovery. That will recovery to factory settings, assuming you have a recovery partition. Dell support: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/opgx150/en/index.htm

1. While most Dell desktops respond well to "System Restore," which restores the Windows operating system, occasionally a computer may need to be restored to factory settings. This is usually done as a last resort and is usually due to viruses that can't be removed. While you should try "System Restore" on your Dell first, resetting the desktop to factory settings is an option. This is done through a PC restore by Symantec. Be aware that not all Dell desktops have this ability, and before proceeding with this option, you should call Dell tech support
   
   

2. Make copies of all things on your PC you want to save, such as photos, documents and other installed programs. Resetting your PC to factory settings will erase all data on the hard drive. It will erase anything that you installed on your computer after you received it.
   

3. Restart your computer.
   

4. As the computer is turning on, you will see a blue bar that says "Dell.com" across the top of your monitor. At this time, press the Ctrl and F11 keys simultaneously. If you wait too long, you will miss the opportunity to do this and will have to restart your computer again.
   

5. Click the "Restore" option when the next screen appears.
   

6. Click "Confirm." The PC will begin its resetting process. This process takes approximately 10 minutes.
   

7. Click "Finish" when the process is complete. Allow the PC to restart itself. Do not restart it yourself since it needs to run through its boot program.
   

8. Click "Yes" to allow the computer to restart. When it does, it will be at original settings, and you will see the "End User License Agreement" screen. Click "Next." The System Restore screen will appear, and the computer will do another restart.
   

9. Once it does another restart, click "OK." You have now reset your Dell desktop to factory settings.

should not effect hard wired desktop

Press F5 or F12 either of the two will work.....if there is recovery partition on you laptop

It should be good up to 30 feet, whatever the setup. You might try plugging the send/receiver into a front port to see if that helps.

I usually open Device Manager, open each USB device and set the power to stay on, (not "turn off this device to save power"). That way, sleep mode won't cause you to lose contact with the mouse. Or just disable sleep mode.

Sounds like the explorer.exe process might be restarting. Open Task manager and keep refreshing the processes to see if explorer.exe disappears/re-appears.

Right Click the desktop, select "Sort By", select "Show Desktop Icons". Done!
