have no cd drive.....thought about changing the reg and so on but can't
remember the command. System restore is not helping won't restore and won't
go back further than Dec 1. Also mouse jumps all over the place when I type.
Got any fixes without having to take it back to Gateway?? it's a 2002 machine.

Did you also happen to uninstall some CD Burning software?
Open Regedit, and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Verify over in the right pane that you're looking at your CD drives.
Check for values named:
Lowerfilters
Upperfilters
If found, delete them. Reboot your system, and see if your drives have
reappeared.
The MS article about this is here:

Jumpy mouse? Is it plugged into the wrong port? Did you scan for viruses
and spyware? Does it happen in Safe Mode?
