Hey, so here's my problem.

Yesterday, my PC was fine, all good.

Today when I have say two pages open on the taskbar, I click to go to the other age and it just flashes orange. I have to minimize my current window to reach the desktop where I can (just about) get the other page to open by clicking the taskbar.

Run Malwarebytes, Spybot, doing AVG, nothing found...


Anyone know what this is?!

Edit: On a side note, Windows live messenger doesn't show any profile pics, or only some, related to the above?

And right click doesn't work on the taskbar... Mouse batterys are low, can't be this, no?

You mentioned mouse batteries and I immediately thought of the issue I had with my Logitech wireless. It wouldn't respond to clicks properly, the same behaviour you describe.

It was either low batteries or wireless interference causing my problem.

Ah! Guess what make my mouse is :p

Glad that's the problem, it most likely is. AVG seems alright to me, nothing bad about it, so far. Like I said I did other tests and it was o, but I may look to change it anyway...


Thanks for the replies, off to buy a new mouse, or at least some new batteries...
 
AVG 9 seems to be causing problems with its latest "link scanner" update ! Had to go back to AVG8.5 on one PC - just kept hanging on web sites.
 
So the Microsoft one is better?

As in, can block web crap too?

when you say "block web crap" you mean "slow down all your browsing horrifically as all traffic is routed through AVG's SLOW scanning engine" then, no.

honestly, there's almost nothing wrong with AVG* until you get a virus. or three.

*except the slowness, constant system pauses while scanning, browser-invasive nature etc...
