Windows 7. Can't click on anything!

[fuzzybabybunny]

This weird problem started cropping up randomly.

I can't click on anything using the touchpad or the mouse. The pointer moves, but nothing responds when I click it, anywhere. Not the taskbar, start button, desktop icons, nothing. The only thing that I think responds are things like browser windows that happen to be open at the time.

I have to CTRL+ALT+DEL and close and restart Explorer.exe to get things back to normal.

And then it happens again after a couple hours.

Have you tried disconnecting the mouse and then pluggin it back in the tower bud?

Good luck!

First click on device manager and see if you have any conflicts.:sneaky:

If you've recently enabled a custom desktop theme, revert to a default theme to test touchpad and mouse functions.
