Start Window Opening, And Opening, And Opening.....



I've just had to send my brand new..... Toshiba A135-S4417 laptop to Toshiba because the hard drive died! Not happy here. I am re-installing everyting and all of the little quirks that I did manage to work out 4 months ago are back! One that is really annoying is when I use the touchpad and click on an item, the START menu opens up. When I'm in a program; when I'm opening email; when I'm clicking "o.k." just about everytime and I'm just about to pull out my hair or someone elses! PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!!!!!

felix8406 will become famous soon enough

Can't think of anything that would be causing the issue. You may try uninstalling the the device (mouse) and restarting Windows. Right-click Computer > Properties > Device Manager > Click mice and other pointing devices > Right-click the device and select uninstall.

If you have problems restarting the PC, because of uninstalling the mouse, use the Windows Key > Tab > Right Arrow to get to the Restart option. Once it restarts, windows will reinstall the device.

This also sounds like (different programs which are interacting with ea other).
Sample: different versions of ROXIO and NERO and Cybermedia DVD if not install in the correct order, can cause a LOOP which restarts -> restarts->
. recommend he DL and install BelArc (free) run the program-> save the info in .txt format. Remove the KEYS or SN's used to install with. then [post info so we can see what programs might be linked or locked.
2. Have you ran a FULL disk diagnostic on this HD. to see if it has any BAD SECTORS. (many manufactures do replace with REFURB'd HD's - which mean BAD SECTORS are hidden.) common practice in todays world of POOR or NO ETHICS .

Could be an issue with the touchpad software. Is there an update available?
