View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell XPS laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium that is nearly 1 year old - it has not been dropped or damaged in any way with liquid/food. My mouse (normally controlled by a touch pad) continues to move on its own to the bottom right hand corner to the show desktop toggle or the time/calendar area. It does this even when I am using the mouse.

When I scroll on the pad, it barely moves and frequently will only move on one axis. The only solution I have at the moment is to physically close the laptop up, immediately reopen it and log in again and all is well until i move it again.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been having the problem of mouse/touch pad being able to move but somehow, i just can't click on anything with my laptop a few days ago. It just feels like everything is in the "not responding" state when using the mouse and also the touch pad but then everything seems just fine when I use my keyboard to operate them. I've tried formatting my laptop myself and also sent it to a shop to do it, but nothing has changed And also, ever since this problem occur, my laptop seems to be slowing down no matter is shutting it down or running a program.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have upgraded from 32 bit Windows 7 to 64 bit Windows 7, and I've been having problems with it. After a while, a program would freeze, then everything else would freeze. I have checked for viruses, chkdsk, sfc /scannow, memtest86+, defragged updated my graphics drivers, etc, until I finally re-installed. The problem still persists, but it's not as dominant, but it is preventing me from working properly. I feel it's kinda obvious that something is activating it (but still random) but I don't know what.

I am using an HP Targus HD compliant mouse, but my touch pad (Synaptics V7.0 Touch Pad on PS2 port) is clearly the default pointer and if I try to remove it, I am left with no pointing devices at all! I have tried changing the USB connections for the mouse, but to no avail

It seems like occasionally I'll click on a folder on the taskbar, maybe accidentally drag and right-click, (I can't replicate how exactly), but the whole taskbar will end up getting moved to the top of the screen. I though it's not suppose to be able to move if the taskbar is locked, does someone know if it's a bug or maybe an option I can checkbox somewhere to prevent it from moving ever in the future?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI generally like to have a clean desktop -- so I put my desktop icons in a familiar location. The trash can always goes in the bottom right, important computer shortcuts / folders in the top right, etc.. However, (I can't say how long its been happening) I use a lot of fullscreen applications (games, mostly), most of the time launched from Steam. When these games exit, my icons are randomly placed. I've noticed that they tend to be close to the top right of the screen extending to the middle of the top. They are not all lined up, there are often spaces in between them.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a newer HP laptop that I have been playing Spider Solitaire on frequently without problems for the past six months. This week, out of the blue, any card moves are taking 7-13 seconds to complete. I then tried regular Solitaire and it is having the same problem. This obviously makes playing these games impossible. These are the fixes I have tried so far:
1. Update graphics card driver - states I am using the most current driver.
2. Ran sfc /scannow to search for corrupted files - can was OK.
3. Tried turning games features off then back on in the control panel - no help.
When I click and drag on the title-bar of a window the window border moves to the new location then when I release the mouse the window springs into the re-located border.This has only started to happen after I changed the partition size of my c: drive. Obviously, some setting has been changed and I have no idea as to how to reset it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 ... just installed a new Logitech K759 Solar keyboard and am using an 'old' Logitech M705 mouse via one Unified receiver (obviously both are wireless)Frequently, and unexpectedly, a full-screen window moves (and size is changed) when the mouse is left-clicked (also seems to occur when the cursor is moved with the mouse). When this happens, the window can't be closed by clicking on the 'red X' (in upper left corner) - the window will arbitrarily change back to full-screen but I cannot type or click on anything. Right clicking (on an 'empty' area) seems to 'freeze' the window in full-screen mode and I can continue typing.There isn't any other wireless transmitter (wireless phone etc) nearby (plus have never had this problem before) so interference doesn't seem to be problem.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have windows 7 pro - I have several very expensive programs and important files, and uncountable hours of setups.I can't risk doing it over. I really need to start logging all software installations everything - registry additions/changes - directory & file additions/changes - etc.If something breaks, I need information to repair with (not withstanding I can do a backup and restore, maybe). I used to have a nifty little program that did this nicely for me in win 98 but I don't remember it's name or where I can get it today if I could remember it's name it was a very small program - I can't program myself anymore cause of the injuries - I get confused. Also, I noticed the registry in win 7 appears different than in win XP, which is a complication I hadn't expected.I could be all wet, but I understand that windows logs the information but also deletes the information. Likewise, I understand that temporary directories contain the information - but I do not know how to save it before windows deletes it, if that is the case. I know a lot about older windows but not the latest releases.Think I may be doing something wrong, looking in the wrong place or not doing something I should be doing before the install? (I was injured in 1969 and again during my graduate year in engineering, and I became a bit slow.)I would like to use windows own software to accomplish this simple but seemingly monumental task. Maybe windows administrative programs would be of help but I don't know where to look for the right stuff. When windows becomes slow, gets buggy after an install, it's a bummer because diagnostics are limited and it's been years since I used a prompt (don't recall key commands), so that would be a last resort.I cannot afford a genuine backup solution until well after the holidays as I am a housebound disabled veteran and my income is a bit limited (my network upgrade cost a bundle as did our several computers and server what with isolation transformers and uninterpretables). So, knowing how to make a free installation log, would be swell, like strawberries and real whipped cream.

View 3 Replies View Relatedrecently I downloaded and installed Spybot S&D, MBAM, and Comodo firewall on a computer of mine and shortly after(1 or 2 days) My Internet connection ceased. I assumed it was something Comodo was blocking so I tried disabling it and then un-installing it and neither changed anything. I tried pinging www.google.com and it failed. I tried pinging my router and it worked. and I tried having my router ping www.google.com and that worked. I also checked the device manager to see if anything was odd and I had a yellow "!" for my ethernet controller. So I whip out the cd for my motherboard and reinstall it and it is successful. I check the connection to the web and it fails. When I check the device manager it still shows a yellow "!" for the ethernet controller. I tried getting the latest set of drivers for my motherboard on another computer and the same results. My motherboard is a gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 nvidia nForce 570 sli. It has a Nvidia nForce 10/100/1000 MBPS ethernet on-board adapter.
There are two entries in my device manager: ethernet controller (which has the "!") and nvidia nForce 10/100/1000 mbps ethernet (which displays fine in the device manager) The current driver package I am trying to install is this link. That is what nVidias drop down boxes give me when I enter in my information.I found some forums of people with similar issues but all the solutions tell them to use the device manager's tools to update the drivers but I haven't had any luck with that so far. I may be doing it wrong because those options never seem to work for me. Does anyone have any ideas on what can be going on here?I'm running windows 7 x64 and a AMD Phenom x4 quad core 2.2GHz
Finally took the plunge and got a 3 pack Windows 7 Home.
I've done searches in google and on the forums and everything points me to Local Policy (which I have done for years with XPPro), which Home doesn't have.
I read about Parental control, problem is, I need to disable my wife/in laws from installing apps and from what I read that doesn't really prevent them from installing apps anyways.
Is there anyway to do it in Home edition? Not really concerned with wife/in laws as much as I am with kids. Although they only have access to Miniclip and handful of other sites, some of these apps/links/download/installs can get nasty.
Also I've been using ProCon for Mozilla site control with WinXP Pro. Should I stick with that or does Windows 7 offer anything new as far as website access. I simply need to define which sites kids can access.
I am thinking of buying a laptop through dell and get the windows 7 upgrade kit sent at a later date. But I only want to do this if it will allow me a clean install, as I never do in place upgrades for obvious reasons. Does anybody know if Dell upgrade kit allows this?
(I know... I know... I should just wait... but I have time constraints beyond my control!)
Okay so I bought the Windows 7 Pro Upgrade 64bit using the Student download via Digitalriver.. I downloaded it on Windows 7 RC2 32bit and I followed the steps that was posted in the error thread to make an ISO file and I booted the disc and installed 64bit. Everything runs fine except when I get to the final phase of installing and it restarts my computer, the computer hangs at the Windows is starting up screen..
Someone said to try disablign the secondary LAN in BIOS but that was already disabled for me and it still doesn't work..
OK. Clean new install. Only users on the system are default Administrator and myself) as admin. Tried to run HP driver setup (which stinks anyway) and it gets to a step where it says I needed to run it as administrator. But I am one. If I start it with "Run as Administrator" it still fails. If I run it with the hidden administrator account I get the same problem. If I change the UAC to allow everything, I still get it. I had a similar problem trying to install Nero. It seems like I am an admin, but I'm not really. Other stuff (Office 2007) installed fine.
