computer beeps when trying to start up Closed

Question

Hello,

my 3 yr old son managed to get on the computer unattended and now it won't start up without beeping.  i have a dell computer and when i try to power it on, it beeps continuously and won't boot.  i can stop the beeping by pressing ctrl, alt and eventually it will boot up.  When I get in and open a spreadsheet or email it is like the cursor is constantly moving to the right.  I drag it back and it goes all the way to the right again.

Any ideas??

hello Sir,

Just remove the mouse if it's a USB one,

And plug it back,

Or

To do System Restore: Press F8 when the Computer starts after bios check, then select Safe Mode, 
1.Click Start.
 2.Point to All Programs.
 3.Point to Accessories.
 4.Point to System Tools.
 5.Click System Restore.
 Choose a date when your computer was working fine, then press Next Let the process to be done then the computer will restart normally.

i have a wireless mouse.  I don't think that is the problem.  I have a continuous beep and pressing control alt at the same time is the only thing that will allow the machine to boot up.  i noticed when it is beeping there are numbers lit up on the front of the hard drive.  When it finally boots it is a cyclinder picture that lights up.  don't know if that means anything.
