"Window Changes Position On Desktop Everytime Uses The Mouse"
Tue Aug-20-02 02:44 AM

  

          

My brother purchased a new computer recently with XP(Home Edition).
I think it's an HP.

Everytime he clicks with his mouse his browser or the window he's working on changes position on the desktop. He's using I.E. 6, I think. Not 100% sure of the version.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Ray

Run a virus scan. There is a virus that causes that kind of behavior.

Yes, I had that myself and forgot the name of the virus. It can literally drive one crazy..... I ran NAV at that time and had to update my virus definitions and then it got it.....

Shelly,

Thanks for the reply. I never thought a virus would cause this. However, there's a lot of problems I don't know that virus programs will cause.
