Just started today.
For instance, my computer woke up from sleep, and I went to go click my username to log in. The mouse did not want to click. I used the touchpad, but the same thing happened. Just hovers over it. After like 30 seconds, I can click again.
In browsers, I cannot click links or right click. Cant click back or icons. The pointer is literally useless. The pointer doesnt change shape to a hand or something when you hover over a link, just stays a pointer. The only thing that works is the address bar and the search bar. I can click them to enter text, which I can do. After about 30 seconds, it goes back to normal.
Pressing ctrl, alt, delete, then selecting start task manager and then closing it un-fuckifies it for some reason if i'm stuck in that scenario, but thats only a temp solution. I tried restarting, but no luck. Cant be the mouse, because the touchpad does the same thing on my laptop. Running Vista btw.
edit: Doesnt happen all the time. Happens once in a while, but when it does, it is frustrating and annoying.

Till then, use the keyboard. Tab is your friend.
but they're listening to every word I say
Alright, I'm probably gonna reformat my computer anyways then. Needs a good refresh.
