In Windows 7, whenever I have fly over things, the mouse automatically selects elements or following the links without me clicking.

I installed Windows 7 Home Premium Edition on my laptop. I have problems with the mouse constantly selecting the items that I don't want to choose. I would like to go back to the way it worked in all other versions of WIndows where I click on something to select.

Do you know how annoying it is to bang something on a Web page and suddenly your redirect to another page because that your mouse has flown over a link? Or in WIndows Explorer when I look at the pictures & the mouse over a folder, move to another folder WITHOUT all the me clicking on & selecting!

Found the solution.  I guess this was introduced in Vista, so do not switch to Win 7 to XP people.  Repair, go to:

The mouse properties > peripheral settings (tab) > settings (button) > look (menu item) > then uncheck 'enable by typing '.

Fact.  Fixed.  Gene gone.

    You have a hard drive partition to do - but you would need to contact/see the FAQ from the hardware manufacturer (HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) to see if and how.

    Otherwise - you might have to order (pay for possibly) the factory restore/recovery of the value of the manufacturer.

  • I get corrupted files indexing whenever I have access directly to the files on my system.

    I installed Windows 7 on a partition of a raid 0 with Windows XP on a second partition as a dual boot. The installer went well and all the drivers seem to work well. It seems anytime access to files via windows Explorer, my computer, etc., the indexing of files get corrupted. The system detects corruption and upon reboot it travels the disk repair utilities and deletes several files indexing, that it says are corrupt and the cycle goes round. I disabled the indexing on all partitions file and the problem got better but I still occasionally run the disc scan and correct indexing errors more. Everyone knows about this problem?

    Hi clonemark,

    Thanks for the reply on the community forum.

    Have you run any disk hard diagnosis tools that your hardware vendor can provide?  Initially, it sounds like there may be some bad sectors on the disks themselves hard.  If your system is under warranty, you may contact your provider and walk through a test of health with them.  If this is not the case, they have a tool on the site to help you with this.

    Don't forget a RAID 0 provides no redundancy so if any disk fails, without a State of full system / or all of the files you want to back up you are in danger of losing everything.  I want to make sure it is before much more is done, please make a good backup of all the data that you consider to be important for you on this system.

    In addition, if the material is not corrupted.  Check if the table that you created is corrupt.  Errors that you are declaring seem to indicate somewhere in this - table of data or hardware is damaged.  If chkdsk runs and can't find any error then it would be not significant to this procedure, but chkdsk running and to find errors, this is what is worrying.

    After checking if the material and the table are healthy, start in a clean boot state.

    Step 1: Perform a clean boot - this comes from an article in Windows Vista, however, the procedure is the same.  Don't forget to follow step 7 of this article, after the troubleshooting steps are made - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 Note if the computer is connected to a network, the network may be policy settings prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.

    1. Log the computer by using an account with administrator rights.
    2. Click Start

      , type msconfig.exe in the box start looking for and then press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  • On the general tab of the , click on selective startup of , and then click to clear the load startup items check box. (The box use the file Boot isn't available.)
  • Under the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft services checkbox and then click disable all.

    Note Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.

  • -Click OK and then click Restart.
  • After you restart your computer follow these Rummy to run chkdsk.  This should stop the procedure was running and bringing only to run in your previous post.  Run chkdsk until more no error is detected.  Then the run once more to verify it shows always 0 errors.

    If you still experience the problem, and all the steps listed above have been verified, run a tool to remove malware and VIRUS SCAN on all partitions in your operating system.  Check that there is no software of thugs on the system.

    Let us know on this question of how things progress.

  • whenever I have to connect to the virtual machine asks me to enter login and password I can't save the credentials

    Hi, I used Windows Virtual PC XP mode for awhile and I just do a fresh install, and I'm having a problem that I seem not to be able to solve.

    After you enable the integration features, I got to the Windows Security login screen. I typed in the login and the password, but I accidentally made a mistake and could not connect. I clicked on cancel and was then in the XP login screen, where I entered then the right login and password and it me connected to the virtual machine XP without problem.

    Now, the problem I have is every time I connect to computer virtual it asks me the login and the password on the login screen of XP and I don't have the option to connect using the login Windows Security screen, so it do not give me an option to save my password and login information. So, to make things worse is that moment every time I have to resize the virtual pc it then asks me to log in again.

    Is it possible to return me to the Windows security login screen where can I put my login instead of the XP login screen when it is not an option?

  • I can get email directly from my ISP, but not through thunderbird. I have windows 7. I have 'repair file' on the but deleted items folder Inbox crashed.

    I have Windows 7. I started with a problem to have my deleted emails in my Inbox in endangered and not to enter in my trash. So I went to the folder 'Properties' and did a 'repair file' on my trash folder - who worked to get the deleted emails back. Then I tried to bring back an e-mail in my Inbox but it is not. So I tried another. What was allowed either. Then I did an email test from another e-mail account, as I have in the Inbox for this account. The test e-mail never came through. So I went to my service provider online. The e-mail test came ok. Also, I noticed that under the option 'Subscribe' in my account problem, under 'Folder List' there is no record showing. The area is completely empty. While in my two other accounts, I have all my folders showing with ticked the boxes next to them. This is as far as I'm away.

    I don't know what happened, but when I went to my e-mail this morning someone had added in my account again and this time it worked! Thank you who did this... very, very, very well!
