It could be several things, but the most likely is that there is some kind of program running on your machine which is sucking up all of its memory resources and slowing it down. If it is not just the start menu that takes a long time, but any task you ask the computer to do, try pressing Control+Alt+Delete and then selecting "Task Manager." When the task manager comes up, there's a tab you can click on that says "processes."
Look at your processes and look under the "Memory" heading. If any of them are taking up an enormous amount of memory, look at the name of the program. Look up the program online to see what it is, if you don't recognize it to try and determine if it is a spyware or other malicious program.
Looking at my task manager right now, firefox.exe (this web browser I'm using right now) is taking up about 212,000 K. If you looked and a program were using more than that, like say 800,000 K or some enormous number then that could explain why the computer suddenly slowed down. It's important to be sure exactly what that program is, however, before you try to take it off your computer. You also might want to try using free antivirus software like AVG FREE to scan your system. This answer I have listed is the most common answer to that problem, but there could be others.
Instead of a optical mouse that takes thousands of pictures a second and to see where to put your mouse next, a BlueTrack mouse works almost similar. It takes a bunch of pictures too bet instead of focusing on images it focuses on the blue light that is emitted and actually analyzes the dust on the object it is being moved on. This is the first optical mouse that can be used on glass surfaces without any problems. BlueTrack technology is owned by Microsoft.

AnswerNo, that wouldn't be it.I don't know why hibernation would cause a touchpad to become unresponsive but ''function + F4'' is a keyboard shortcut to put your computer ''into'' hibernation.
I know exactly what you were referring to Chris, my friend just had the same problem. She clicked something, and suddenly, the touch-click was gone. It has nothing to do with the keypad dying, it

What are the advantages and disadvantages of serial mouse?
As opposed to having a proprietary bus mouse (only found in very old computer systems), a serial mouse allows you to use a standardized interface and protocol, meaning you can easily replace the mouse if it breaks. The disadvantages of a serial mouse are:
- It occupies the serial port, barring it from use for other devices, such as a modem. If you only have one serial port and no internal modem, you cannot use a dial-up modem and the mouse at the same time.
- They are not always detected automatically or correctly by the operating system.
- They can't be used with many newer computers without purchasing an adapter, as newer computers often lack a serial port.
- They were introduced at a time when few optical (laser) mice were available. As such, you are usually limited to only ball mice, which some people do not like.
- They often have lower / fixed acceleration speeds, meaning it takes them longer to move across the screen or they require a larger movement of the mouse.
