My Crummy Laptop Is Dying

Go to the "Start" button and click it. When the menu pops up, look on the right of the menu for "Control Panel". Open that. Then look on the list for "Mouse", and double click that. You will get a popup with a slider button to control your mouse speed. If it's too fast, slide the indicator to the left. Try the mouse out, and adjust it until you get the speed you like. If a new driver was installed, it may be adjusted all the way to the right, which is way too damned fast for us mere mortals to use.

Quote:It was ignoring mouse functions before, off and on, but now it is doing it all the time. I am so frustrated with the darn thing. 

Which sounds like a driver issue, which is why I think a new driver was installed for the mouse. Probably the touch screen, too. I don't use touch screens, so I'm no help there, but look around in Control Panel for "Display" or "Screen", or the name of your video card (mine is Nvidia), and you may find adjustments for that, too, or a button to click to turn touchscreen functions on/off, or something like that. Another option may be to right click on your desktop and select "Display" from the bottom of the popup list. You may find controls for it there.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.

Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
