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??

And plug it back,

Or

1.Click Start.
2.Point to All Programs.

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.
