Hello-
I've been experiencing some weird problems the last couple of days. First of all I was having a mouse/cursor issue. I would be moving around on the desktop and the mouse would suddenly hang up about every 6"or so. I restarted and it seemed okay. I then ran Adaware just to be sure something wasn't chewing on my system. I did have a few things and cleaned them up. Now I'm trying to back up some things on my hard drive by burning some CD's and I'm losing my CD drive. After a restart my CD drive and DVD drive show up, but when I burn a CD the drive is now gone and I have to restart to see it. I have no idea what could be causing this. Any ideas?
 
Could this happen from a virus?
