I have a Sony Vaio notebook with Vista Business and all the patches and upgrades. Recently the mouse cursor would randomly move and close my Internet Explorer and Firefox, or close Firefox and lock IE. I would either have to kill the IE process or reboot the computer, and then everything would be back to normal. I ran a virus check by AVG and got nothing. I have a Bluetooth mouse and a touch pad, but this would only happen when I have both IE and Firefox running. Can someone shed some light on this? |

Also it would randomly right-click on the screen the I will get desktop pull down menu, and sometimes the left mouse button would act like the right one, pulling down menu. I am scanning with Webroot right now. I will try malware byte next. If it's under warranty, call sony. Calling sony sucks, but you might get a new laptop out of it. |

If you have the software installed for the touch-pad you should be able to disable the internal pad and use an external mouse. If the issue goes away, there is your answer. |

I'm definitely going with the touchpad. Especially if you fat finger it, they die fast. Next one, take it nice and easy... you know, like you're touching your SO, not beating your dick like it owes you money.
BTW, have you tried turning down the sensitivity/newer driver/old version of the driver? Just a thought before you call, even as unlikely as it is with the click buttons involved... I hate tech support |
