Hello everyone!

I've got a question to ask of you:

WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH MY COMPUTER?!

Every once in a while I would be typing something and then when I go to highlight something to move it into another line, my computer decides that I am doing it to highligh EVERYTHING!

I know it is probably is a bug or something, but does anyone have a diagnosis of this highlighting thing and what needs to be done?

Sometimes it disrupts me whenI am typing online and it doesn't help when I am wanting to speak out or something.

When this happends, since I don't know what to do, I shut down my computer and restart. Then everything is fine. Except my mood b/c my computer is slow and I don't have time to be wasting!

Is there any way I can cure this bug? It's making me sick!

Hi tara_d8 - well, we dont want you getting sick :). If it were me, I would check my mouse out first. Have you given your mouse a good clean lately. You need to take the trackball out and give it a wash then dry it. Look inside then turn it over and give it a little shake to get rid of any fluff. If there is any junk on the rollers, very gently scrape it off with your fingernail. If this doesnt work, try another mouse (maybe borrow one of a friend for a couple of hours) and see if you still have the same problem.

I would have not guessed that my mouse would be the problem!
