suddenly this week, all the drop down menus on my computer (tools, windows, etc.), the menu from my "start" button, and even all the drop downs on my photoshop program are SOOOOOO incredibly sensitive! practically just going near them activates the menus, and even if my mouse goes over something at lightning speed, it STILL activates that menu and i have to click somewhere else to get it to disappear

all my drop down menus from address bar to simple options in settings and such all keep resetting Rapidly, as if I was clicking on it non stop, what this is doing is hindering me from being able to do anything on that page that is displayed because it keeps pulling down the topmost drop down menu

When in certain programs, particularly Photoshop but there are others, when I click on the Open selection then try and use a drop down menu to navigate to the correct location of the file I'm looking for, the menu just flashes then goes away.

When I try clicking internet links, items in drop down menus, etc, I have to click maybe two to three times to get the system to act on the command. I have run every virus program I have, deleted my temp files, deleted my temp internet files and ran a defrag. The problem is still on going today.

I have an 14 year old HP hard drive, I already recycled the computer at Best Buy. I pounded for over 10 minutes with a hammer trying to get the HD out and couldn't so I knocked out the entire drive bay. The HD has very sensitive data all of my banking passwords. What would be the most secure way of destroying the HD? I think I heard pour bleach on it? The drive bay is industrial grade steel, LOL, so if I had to drill through the HD it would have to be from back to front

View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to make my mouse more sensitive in xp pro. I have the pointer speed turned up to the max. I have also looked into changing the smooth mouse curve x and y in the regedit; however, it looks like this only has to do with how fast the pointer accelerates not with how much territory it covers. I would like to change mine so that a smaller movement of the mouse covers more of the display. would changing these values do that?

I need info on whether theres a program or something that i can use that will automatically remove the super hidden status of files and folders. I had a virus go through my system and screw up all my files by making them super hidden and im sick of using command prompt to remove the attribute from the individual files and folders. so if theres an easier way to do all my files in one go i would be very appreciative.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIt's taking literally minutes to open a Internet Explorer window, to open my e-mail program, and even once inside my e-mail program it takes half a minute to switch from one email to another in my inbox.The first signs were a couple weeks ago. It was taking 20 to 30 seconds to open a word document. But that was the only trouble for a while.I am running Windows XP.I installed, then un-installed SP2 about a month ago. Things seemed to work fine--until the above problems began.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHey guys, I don't have the computer in front of me, but my mom's computer is working really slowly, and it's had the defragger ran on it, and according to Ad-Aware and AVG it's clean, so what could possibly be making it run so slowly? If you absolutely have no idea, I'll try to get a hijackthis log for it, but as I said, Ad-Aware and AVG didn't find anything wrong with it there, and I ran the defrag on it the other day and it didn't help at all. Plenty of space left on the HD, so I have no idea what is going on....except that maybe the computer is a lemon. They've had problems with it since pretty soon after they bought it, but it's just progressively gotten worse.

I have a Sony laptop (about 2 yrs old) with Windows XP professional. My computer has gotten pretty slow, for example, booting up and loading the desktop when I switch applications. There doesn't seem to be anything obviously wrong. I run a disk defragmenter and Spy Sweeper all the time and just downloaded and ran Ad-aware. My hard drive is partitioned -- is that a problem?? -- and there are 2.45 GB of free space out of 9.76 on my C: drive, and 6 GB of space out of 8.85 on my D: drive. I need some advice on what might be wrong. Please! Oh, also, I downloaded a browser called Wanadoo so I could get online in Paris and though I've uninstalled it, it's taken over my other browsers so the top of the web page always reads the page name dash Wanadoo. How do I get rid of it?
