The mouse of my T60 freeze right after boot. I suspect that it was some kind of virus. I tried to "restore to factory default" os. However, the mouse is always freeze just before I select "restore system" in the restore process. I tried to boot in safe mode, but the mouse freeze just before I can login. I would like to restore the system to the factory default. Is there a way to do it without using mouse? How can I tell that this is a hardware problem or virus attack?

does it show the post screen. That screen would show the load process for the hard drive, cd-rom, keyboard, mouse and so on. If it does try to get into the BIOS and check to see if you can reset it to the factory defaults. If it won't let you into the BIOS and it just freezes there you more than likely have the I LOVE YOU virus and you will need a new mainboard because that virus destroys the BIOS. Once you have a new mainboard you can not allow the hard drive to boot you need to run the restore soft ware or the virus will hit it again because the virus is still on the hard drive and if it boots it will activate again. If you do let your hard drive boot and it happens again you will have to pay for another main board because the company isn't responsible for the virus destroying the the main board again.

During reboot you can try pushing F8 repeatedly as soon as you power on. This takes you to the Windows startup menu on versions XP thru 7 operating systems. Select safe mode and press enter. Your computer should boot up in a special mode that protects it from damage to the OS. You can now try to restore your computer to an earlier condition. If this fails you can try restoring your computer to the factory default settings in your BIOS. To do this restart your computer holding F2 key. Using the right arrow key move to the last tab and select restore settings to factory defaults. Make sure that you save your settings before youi exit. After exiting your computer will restart on its own. (Dont turn it off while in BIOS and make sure that it's plugged in anytime you are making changes) I hope this helps.

Hi,
I do have a T60 as well!, love it! and the only way to restore as from factory is to install a fresh copy of the OS of choice (if original disk are not available) then, go to IBM.com or lenovo.com and download the drivers that belongs to your pc. I hope that this answered your question!, Good Luck!.

Notes
Thanks to danbarfor this tip.

you mean restoring to factory default? re start your machine the press the BLUE Button right away this will prompt you to IBM Rescue and recovery.... unless your system is reformat on a OEM OS then you will need to have the bootable disk from IBM T60..

try to boot in safe mode and check if still freezes. if yes then. boot to f8 select last known good configuration. if fails.try to do system restore using the recovery disc. if fails then before reinstalling OS. try to connect an external mouse first then update antivirus then run a full system scan. if still fails then reinstall. OS.

go tot Start->All Progs->Accessories->System Tools->restore. and restore the notebook to the earliest date (shown in bold numerals) possible.

check the viruses in your system why freeze that... if the same problem after that try to reinstall the os

check another parts

If you're sure its not a virus then it probably is your hdd giving up the ghost. How old is it?
