Vista and mouse cursor

12
Hi,

Sometimes nothing will happen when I click the mouse when the mouse cursor is at the middle of a file name or in the center of an icon or button (for example the icon in the left hand side of the bottom bar, or the button at the top-right corner of the IE). To make it work, I need to move the cursor to the top of the file name or to the top-left of the icon or the button.

Do you know what is wrong? It is a new PC.

Thank you in advance.

How long have this been happening? did you install or change something in the system and then it started doing this?

is it a new mouse? do you have the newest drivers for vista?

please also provide which version of vista you have (sometimes needed), the make and model of the mouse.

Thank you for your response.

When it happen, I tried to click some other place and it may or may not correct this error. I did installed something but this happens when I didn't run the newly installed programs. It seems easy to happen when I oppened many windows.

I got the PC in a few days ago. Vista Home Premium, 2GB memory, Dell. All parts are new except the monitor: I use an old 17'' monitor instead 19''.
