My refuses to mouse click until I opened the task manager - what could be the cause?

I installed Windows 7 pro on my laptop (64 bit) and for some reason, when I start the computer, on which the mouse will be able to move, but can't select anything or click. When I fly over things that should light up, nothing seems to happen. I have similar issues - when I open the Task Manager, the mouse begins to click. In fact, when I press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and with the pointer of the mouse on "Start Task Manager" I can see the mouse commit but I don't know what process is engaged to achieve. I can also drag files in folders or use the scroll wheel with my mouse. I use a Lenovo laptop on a dock with a keyboard and a Microsoft wireless mouse. I seem to be able to drag the files when I'm not on the dock. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

  • Mac Pro end of 2013 will not launch apps. most mouse clicks are delayed to the point of making it unusable.

    Hello community,

    I have a problem with my Mac Pro end 2013. I bought it in August of 2014. It has always seemed to be a little weird, but I attributed this to the usual first generation bugs and not-so-stellar OSXs from the end. When it was available, I installed the latest update of El Capitan, 10.11.5,, and it seemed that Apple had finally deceived. Since the update, I enjoyed the use of my MP as much as other Macs I've owned over the years (a Performa, G3, G4, G5, several iMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro and Mac Mini - 14 in all).

    Yes, computer on my MP was nearlly nirvana, that is, until a few days ago. It started when my mouse became very unresponsive and I just thought he needed a couple of new batteries. I put fresh packaging as engergizers in, but it did not help. The slider was slow and jerky, and sometimes it is completely frozen. I paired a new mouse, also with new batteries, the Member and experienced the same thing. Basically, the mouse was unusable. The slider control would come and go at random. I do not think that to restart faster, (which surprises me, because, in the past, I had to do quite often to operate properly). But I restart, and it seemed to clear up the problem at the moment. This strange mouse behavior happened at least a dozen times since the beginning, but generally, it did not last long and lightens without rebooting. I noticed that often happens during Time Machine backups are in progress, or when another CPU-intense activity is happening.

    Unfortunately, it seems that this problem of mouse was a harbinger of things to come. Today, I started the MP of his sleep and clicked on Mail. Nothing happened. It confused me and left me puzzled for a while. I clicked on my browser, Google Chrome, and even once, nothing happened. I thought I should go in my applications folder and try to launch Mail from there to see if that would work. All the time that I did, I got a message window that says: "Cannot open the application"Mail.app"because it may be damaged or incomplete." Immediately after you read this, another window message, just like this one open and said the same thing for Google Chrome - "Unable to open," etc. Icons for Mail and Google Chrome in the doc are now passed to the application icon generic Apple, (the white sheet with the 'A' in the lower corner). Each application I click on since waking from sleep today gives me the same result. Nothing opens the application icon in the dock or the original file in the applications folder. Another very strange thing, it's clicking on a file opens the file in the application it is native. Strange, Yes, but I was able to open Google Chrome, clicking on a saved URL, and I open TextEdit by clicking on a saved TextEdit document. But the application does not open by clicking on its icon. I thought it was very unusual.

    With this weird behavior also come a slowdown in response time of the mouse and keyboard. It is so slow that it makes the work on the machine, for all practical purposes, impossible. It takes 20 or 30 seconds to register a click. But, adding to the quirkiness of everything that happens, once an application is open, like TextEdit, the mouse and the app seem to work almost as if nothing was when working within the App on the other hand, the responses to the mouse by trying to use the finder or open a file from the desktop are very slow. A note on this: when I first the computer woke up today and ran into problems, I tried to open the applications folder and when it finally opened, there is no list of applications. In near-panic mode, I immediately tried the folder my documents to see if my personal files were intact, but no they had also disappeared, or so it appeared. I discovered later, having left the files open on my desk for an hour or two, that files showed later upward. It was a great relief. But the icons on several applications from the applications folder had changed to the generic Apple icon, for some reason any. I rebooted into Recovery Mode, but he wasn't able to do anything there except performing first aid on the hard drive, which showed everything be ok. I didn't restore from a backup at this stage. I had another option to try everything first. Re-boot after that nothing changed.

    The option I mentioned was to try Disk Warrior on it. I ran the latest version and rebuilt on the hard drive, checked the material, and all that makes the software, I forgot. It took about 45 minutes to run. The result was that it showed some things which have been corrected, probably 8 or 10 items, any rang critics. I said a short prayer and restarted. Nothing has changed. Everything that I described before was exactly the same.

    Exasperated, I came here to see if it was what I could glean conversations that could help me. I have not found something really substantial to help me solve the problem, unfortunately. What I found was that I'm certainly not the only person who has experienced problems of 2013 end MP of catastrophic proportions. It is obvious that there is a serious problem with this Mac.

    For those who have had smooth sailing with them, be very happy. If I was. The question came out of the blue. Yesterday, I would have been there with you praise. I hope your luck tends and you never have to experience this level of frustration with a product. I mention this because some seem to dismiss the issue as flukey. But I must say, in all honesty, anyone denying the MP has a problem either whistling through the graveyard or they are so pro-Mac that they are not prepared to allow even a small flaw in the Apple armor. They are good people, but they are in denial. I know how easy it is to refuse to acknowledge the existence of even a slight stain on the first brand hand. I have fought wars of Mac - PC at the time where we didn't know what a Mac - but almost every designer in the country. We labeled Mac users quietly the balls also odd, unconventional and offbeat. But we knew we had the best product. We knew that when the rubber meets the road, in particular regarding graphics, we would spank a PC each time. The years 90, and even the first part of the century was a time when serious computer users aligned on one side of the road or the other, Mac or PC. A lot of animosity arose between the two camps, especially on the side of the Mac, because we were the underdogs, rather despised by the majority. We felt the need constantly to get our message to the number overwhelming dominate the PC users. It follows a sort of tacit animosity. And it became a proposal for a war similar to many Mac users, myself included. For people who lived in that time and have subsequently become more and more immersed in all things Mac, the war is raging on. This is the meaning behind my description of those who are "so pro-Mac". Again, it is easy to understand why this mentality still exists. It was not easy for us guys good back in the day. But it is now time for rational people watch mentality 'til-death-us-part and face the facts, which also means recognition of all prejudice deeply seated, illogical. This member is not good. There is a real possibility that it could be much worse than not well. Time will tell.

    On the side of those who are unwilling to admit there are problems, of course, the argument will be, given all the members sold, he's going to be a dud or two, it's just human nature to be less - than perfect. I accept that. For my money, however, after having lived what I have with my Congressman and to hear the facts given on this site by several owners of the MP - and the absurdity of the incredible problems they have known - that any rational thinker must know at least the idea that means that we deal with a lot more here than the occasional, inevitable dud.

    The bottom line is, my problems are not isolated. It is clear that Apple has a product that fails to a very rare rhythm of the brand. Once again, I have owned for a decade of Mac, all shapes and sizes, but I've never had anything that happens to one of them that comes close to this type of failure. How disappointing it is to me, who has worn the coat for Apple products for nearly 30 years.

    I doubt if there is something that everyone in the team of technical advisors here at the Community Board of Apple can do to help me with this problem. I'm not somehow devaluing at your service for Mac users. I certainly welcome any help you can offer. I know you have helped countless others to find solutions to the problems. But it's a little different for you now with this model of MP. Your best efforts seem to be a bit anemic on this topic. And it's not your fault. Apple isn't talking, then you are here on an island of yours, grasp at straws to try to help. I congratulate you on that, but nothing I've read has shed significant light on this which seems to be a mess of real, first Apple class - currently without a viable solution.

    Yet once again, I welcome any suggestions and thank you in advance to address even. I will definitely check here in the coming days to see if he has the answers.

    In my view, the prudent thing for me to do now is to make an appointment at my nearest store from Apple, an hour and a half and let them begin to set. I'm not too optimistic about a full success to resolve the issue during the first visit, based on the experiences of other contributors. And I rejoice in water and the lift back repeatedly to do things, as seems to be the rule rather than the exception. But in this regard, fortunately, I'm retired and now do occasional projects at low pressure. It's great to not have the MP to put food on the table like I did for many years using my trusty ol ' G5. I don't know what I would if I still ran my business full-time and depends on this MP. Small businesses rely on their equipment to work. The major failures, such as this MP seems to display with regularity can quickly put a small company out of business. This failure is not a walk in the park for me, but I really feel for those who invested heavily and who depend on every day, only to have this mucking things up, i.e., when it is not in the repair shop.

    Finally, I write my thoughts here to express my disappointment in commiseration with other owners of MP end 2013. These are users who were as delighted as I when Apple eventually replaced the G5 with this elegant, state-of-the-art piece of equipment. Like many others, I jumped directly into the train without reservation, and I paid their price without any reluctance. Plunking down to $4 k for it, adding on 27 "display Apple and then having to buy an external drive now makes me a feel a bit embarrassed, at best and, at worst, as an easy mark. The result is, I wasn't expecting this new MP to throw myself into a sort of computer euphoria, I expected just to work as it was announced. The only thing I added on and I thank God, I did it, was AppleCare. Before this saga is over, Apple will probably want that I had refused it.

    I have not read all what you posted but I think a clean installation, even to an external and test simply install would probably tell a different story. I think you did an installation "backup" probably from a backup of TC. I also think that Legacy Applications from a backup OS x and third-party would be not beneficial. Try it, see what improves.

    Hi nwfirefly,

    I'll try from Firefox Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode. If you do not have the issue so that all your modules, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the guide to troubleshooting Extensions and themes and article troubleshooting issues with plugins like Flash or Java to solve common Firefox problems as well.

    Hope this helps!

  • How can I reset my homepage until FireFox opens the homepage?

    A spam/malware site got itself logged as one of my home pages, and I want to give my pages to a default value. The ordinary mode to do it is to use the Tools menu, but you must leave homepages opened prior to doing it this way. I don't want this site to open again. It appears very suspects windows when it opens. How can I reset my homepage to Firefox externally?

    My suggestion would be to send you a link to the home page you want to set as the default value. Click on the link and Firefox will open directly at this link, bypassing your current homepage.

    You should then be able to go into tools and change the default home page. I would recommend that you run a malware program to find the cookie or a program that landed itself on your system. Ad-aware is an excellent program to use and is quite comprehensive.

  • Slow mouse (vSphere Client after open the Console)

    I have a brand new installation of VMware (more Essentials).  I'm also very new to the world of VMware, if I'm still struggling to catch.

    When I connect via vSphere Client and select "Open Console" for any of my virtual machines, the mouse becomes too slow and nervous.

    Data sheet:

    • I have 2 guests;  Total 12 VMs
    • I see the slow mouse even if my client is installed on XP - Pro or Server 2003.
    • All virtual machines are Server2008 R2.  All the parameters of servers run by default.

    I saw an old discussion of similar on this site trouble but no final resolution.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Welcome to the community,

    solutions for Windows XP/2003 and 2008 R2 are different. Unless already done so, install VMware Tools in the virtual machines.

    for Windows 2003 and XP follow http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1002450 to enable hardware acceleration

    follow http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1016770 for Windows 2008 R2

    Don't forget to adjust the video RAM as described in the article, otherwise you can end up with a black console!

  • Cannot listen to mouse click or action in the Menu?

    Any ideas?

    Hello. The menu control works as expected.
    If the menu does not contain menu items, you can use Menu.setGraphic (node);

     public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
    
            MenuBar menuBar = new MenuBar();
    
            Text hp = new Text("File");
            hp.setFill(Color.WHITE);
            Menu menu1 = new Menu();
            menu1.setGraphic(hp);
    
            hp.setOnMouseClicked(new EventHandler() {
                @Override
                public void handle(MouseEvent event) {
                    System.out.println("Menu clicked");
                }
            });
    
            final Menu menu2 = new Menu("Options");
            final Menu menu3 = new Menu("Help");
            menuBar.getMenus().addAll(menu1, menu2, menu3);
    
            StackPane root = new StackPane();
            root.getChildren().add(menuBar);
    
            Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
    
            primaryStage.setScene(scene);
            primaryStage.show();
        }
    

    Or you can use a toolbar instead of a menu bar:

            ToolBar toolBar = new ToolBar() ;
            final Button menu1 = new Button("File");
            final Button menu2 = new Button("Options");
            final Button menu3 = new Button("Help");
            toolBar.getItems().addAll(menu1, menu2, menu3);

  • VMWare mouse click problem

    We currently have a problem that has been experimented on VMWare Workstation 7 and VMWare Player 3.1.6 build-744570 and VMWare Workstation 7.1.6 build-744570.


    The problem causes mouse clicks are ignored in the guest OS and seems to occur after a sound is played within the guest OS.  The problem can be reproduced by opening Windows Explorer and navigate through the folders by double clicking on the file.  After opening a file and then try to open another folder or by selecting a file in the folder, some other mouse clicks are ignored for a period of time (about 3-5 seconds).  The same thing occurs if a Windows application displays an error message.  The only solution we have found so far is to disconnect the sound between the host and the guest operating system: VMWare menu > Removable Devices > Audio > Disconnect.


    The problem was first lived after an upgrade to laptop for the host operating system (upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1) and a new model of Lenovo Thinkpad.  This problem occurs in virtual machines that we work very well with old laptops using the same versions of VMWare.  We are speculating that the question must relate to 8.1 of Windows or the audio driver in the host operating system (or a combination).


    The driver in the host operating system is:
    Realtek High Definition Audio
    Driver date: 18/02/2014
    Driver version: 6.0.1.7179


    Used laptop is Lenovo Thinkpad W540 (although this has been seen with other versions of laptop computer Lenovo)


    The host operating system version is: 8.1 64-bit Windows.

    Everyone knows these symptoms?

    Hello srdev78:

    I had this same problem where the mouse click in the guest operating system stopped

    work immediately the sound card on the host system began to read any audio

    from any source (iTunes, etc.).

    So, for example, everything in the OS, including the clicks of mouse, guest should work

    as planned until the moment wherever I would start playing audio of my host system, i.e. to

    Firefox, iTunes, whatever. Then immediately audible is by the speakers, mouse

    Click the stop registration completely comments. At this point, the guest operating system is accessible

    only via the keyboard of the host system. The audio source on the host system has no importance

    as long as the audio drivers are loaded and sound starts streaming from the

    the computer speakers.

    The solution that worked for me was uninstalled the Realtek High Definition Audio

    drivers provided by Lenovo and returning on Microsoft default Audio drivers. Now

    my clicks of the mouse in the guest OS to register as expected and without any problem and I'm

    productive all at the same time listening to music of my host system.

    Description of the host system:

    -Lenovo W540 (32 GB of RAM, 1 GB M550 Crucial SSD)

    -Windows 10 Enterprise x 64 (current with all updates from Microsoft)

    -VMware Workstation 12 Pro (12.1.0 build-3272444)

    Description of the guest system

    -Windows 7 Professional x 64 (current with all updates from Microsoft)

    -Current with VMware Tools.

    FYI - I uninstalled "Realtek High Definition Audio Driver" version 6.0.1.7572 which was

    provided by Lenovo Lenovo system update utility. In my case, this problem started after

    I upgraded my host system to 10 Windows (including all the updates from Microsoft and Lenovo).

    Thank you.
