Ok try to boot in native DOS if the unit still froze. If it froze then check your memory card, reseat or clean it with soft eraser only its edge connector. Do this when battery is disconnected and no any other power source is connected to the unit.
Then if it run native DOS. If you can backup your important files, installation code. This will end restoring your unit to restore factory, do you have your restore disc?
Or you can try first to run in safe mode/repair options. Check if it can do some system restore.
When it ask you how you want to start the computer the select Last known Good Configuration. It should boot up normally.
Then go o the control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager and check for any devices that didn't install (the ones with the yellow ?)
You will need to reinstall these drivers.
Could be hardware related BUT from experience it is software related requiring a completed reinstall of your software if your using vista - so backup and save any data you want - reboot and at the HP splash screen hit F11 to enter system recovery - select advanced options - select full recovery - no back up and let it do a completed restore.
How are you moving the cursor? Is it time to change the batteries in the mouse, if it's cordless...
Use the scroll wheel and the CONTROL key - spin the wheel back and see if the screen shrinks. Then click elsewhere on the screen to make sure you're not dragging the whole gameboard around.
In windows xp go into start menu, then into control panel then click on appearance and themes, then move your mouse over to mouse pointers click on it , uncheck "enhance pointer precision, and click apply, that will stop the mouse from acting crazy, this will work with dell mouse pointers and most.
