-=PCTechTalk=- Computer "freezes" (New)

Hello all,
     A while back, I posted to the group about my computer freezing up from 
time to time, either from the keyboard or mouse. The only way out was to power 
down. 
     GMan suggested the driver/s for the keyboard and/or the mouse might be 
corrupted, and I should download and install new drivers.
     I've looked into it and this is what I know so far; It appears there is 
only one driver for both items - Ver 1.0.2.6 Aug 17, 2006

My device manager provides the following info regarding the installed 
drivers;
     Keyboard - Ver 1.0.2.6 Jan 13, 2006
     Mouse - Ver 5.1.2600.0 Jul 1, 2001

     I tried to download and install from HP, and it said I already have the 
latest driver installed. I understand that for the keyboard, but not the 
mouse.
     So, to continue this troubleshooting thought, the mouse driver MAY be 
corrupted, but I don't know for sure. Does anyone know of a way I can get the 
old driver for the mouse, or an updated version?
     Second question. When I do power down, how long should I wait until I 
power up again?

Thanks,

HB
