Click left and right is messed up. A lot of things does more and more things fail to work.

It started a few days ago. I use a refurbished Acer Netbook. While on my desktop screen, left click lowers the list box dropdown right click almost as if the computer is configured with a one-click option.

It also began to fail on me. I currently have Google Chrome (who I am right now) and Zune as my two tabs to the right of the start menu. I can't open w/out Zune by using Alt + Tab.

In addition, using search engines like search engine for YouTube to find videos is miserable. I'm on the left, click on the search bar and get in a letter, when the drop-down list box right click goes down won't let me type anything else in

I hate this problem because I can't do anything on my laptop now. Becomes slower and slower now I must move on.

This could be a software, but it might as well be for lack of material. It is not possible for me to say. If the machine was present in the shop, I would:

1. remove all the data needed to be backed up from outside of Windows. See the end of this post for how to do this.

2. test equipment to ensure that it is healthy (and I suspect that it is not).
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot

If everything fails, you will need to make the decision whether to replace based on what component is, its cost, the cost and age of returned computers, etc.

3. If the material passes all the tests, do a factory restore of Windows with the Acer recovery media. If you do not have the recovery disks, you can order them at Acer. It is generally very cheap, around $ 35 to $ 30.

Extract data from Windows outside:

1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd, or copy it to an external hard drive. I prefer not to do it if I know the drive is infected because he has a chance to infect your host system. In these cases, I use #2 below.

2. you can start the computer target with a Bart PE (XP only) or Linux Livecd such as Knoppix or Ubuntu and retrieve the data in this way. This has the additional advantage to tell you if the problems you are experiencing are hardware or software related because if the computer behaves perfectly in Linux, you know that Windows (software) is the culprit. Conversely, if the computer behaves badly under Linux, you will know that there is a hardware problem. This is general information on the use of Knoppix for the recovery of data when you do not have Windows:

You will need a computer with two cd records, one of which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB thumb drive with enough capacity to contain your data OR an external USB hard drive. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD *. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or freeImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created and the Windows files will be visible under Linux. If you want to burn CD/DVD, there will be a Linux burning program to use.

* If your computer has only an optical drive and you want to use this drive to burn data or need to test drive, you can create a USB bootable Linux instead of a bootable CD. This site will show you how to do it-http://www.pendrivelinux.com

  • Click left and right touchpad does not work on Satellite L50

    I have a new laptop Satellite L50 CI3. However, it seems there is a problem with the left and right keys on the touchpad.

    Right-click behaves like a left click i.e. it does not open a menu.

    Left click cannot drag and drop, including when you use the scroll bars.

    I reinstalled everything, but nothing has changed. Is this a common problem? Is this likely to a hardware or software problem?

    Hello

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. Have you noticed this problem on there first day of use?
    I mean when you start your laptop for the first time that it has original factory settings and everything should be OK.

    If I just understand that there is some response when you use the touchpad buttons so that you can try is to set all the options of touchpad on default settings.

  • Trackpad and left and rick click on the button does not work since the upgrade to windows8

    I have a Sony Vaio VGN-FW21Z and I have upgraded from windows 7 to windows 8, the laptop works beautifully, but I'm forced to use a usb mouse as my pad and click left and right click doesn't work and I tried to install all the drivers several times to fix this problem and nothing's done, can someone please shed some light on this issue please.

Also can't use right click on the files.

    Many thanks in advance, its really bugging me!

    Hello

    Can you please tell us what OS you are using?
    Do you use the preinstalled original Win8.1 64-bit, that you got with your machine?

    I mean the factory settings, everything should work fine, and I guess you don't l t notice this issue from day one.
    At this point I just can you suggest checking the properties of the mouse (touchpad) and make sure that everything is set correctly.

  • How to generate a sound (tone) without clicking noise and how to select the left or right speaker

    Hi all

    I try to write write a VI that generates a pure sound of specific frequency and volume, and then sends this tone to a speaker or other (left or right) to be used to teach students about Audiology (hearing these tests may have taken where you hear a noise in one ear or the other).  I created a rather primitive VI to accomplish this, but I am plagued with a number of questions:

    (1) certain frequencies, but not all, the VI produces a rattling at the start and stop of the tone (I think this is related to repeat the configuration and the appeal of the material, but I do not know how to configure it in advance and avoid it - and why he created the clicking sound at all frequencies?).

    (2) at certain frequencies (14000 Hz and more), I do not hear the tone at all on my computer speakers (I still hear the click before and after, but I do not hear the tone.) I know what you might think, but no, this isn't a hearing loss from me :-)

    (3) I would like to be able to direct the tone selectively to the left or right speaker, but at the moment my VI only allows me to choose the 'number of channels' (who I presume "2ch" means left and right), but I don't know how selectively choose only one channel or another.

    Thank you for your helpful suggestions you can offer,

    You can connect the usb mouse to check how it will act? If the usb mouse works properly, it may be malfunction of touchpad.

  • Why you put "Open a new tab" on the right side of the browser, when you close a tab on the left and you type a new URL in the browser on the left?

    I changed my computer from XP to Windows 7 and migrated my FF browsers. But... now the tabs at the top of the page are all right (they were upper-front left - where I loved her)

    The most important is the "open a new tab" + - is on the right. But that is not sensible. Why you put "Open a new tab" on the extreme right of the browser, when you close a tab on the left and you type a new URL in the browser on the left?

    How can I put my "open a new tab" immediately to the right of 'Close tab' - as if it was before?

    Please advise?

    Try clicking on "Restore default settings" in the palette to customize to reset the toolbar customization.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
