You could attach an external keyboard and a mouse and see if the issue is resolved.<br />
<br />
The problem could be due to the touch pad and or keyboard.<br />
Try to disable the touch pad in XP or the Bios on startup if problem persists it could be a keyboard issue.<br />
<br />
Worst scenario you may have to replace the keyboard and or the touchpad.<br />

Hi<br />
I tried to search on the net, but did not find much, I tried the bios, and the newest BIOS update. I was not able to install the newest BIOS anyway due to the error message : &quot;BIOS image file cannot be found&quot;.<br />
<br />
Anyway the problem is that sometimes or most of the time when restarting my T60, the keyboard/mouse will not work. I have to restart it a couple of times. It will especially not work if I turn it off while the charger/external mouse is plugged in, AND then I will turn it on without the plugged in stuff (on shut down). Or wise versa. Mostly it wants to be rebooted, with the same stuff plugged-in our not on shutdown.<br />
<br />
This is annoying, does anybody know how to fix this?<br />
<br />
Thank you.<br />

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
