Not sure how to explain this but here we go,got my laptop fixed a few weeks ago but since its come back when you open it up it automaticly highlights the bottom left thing on my desktop and the only way to move it off that is with the arrow keys on the keyboard.Before nothing was highlighted id just open it up and click on what I wanted.Its not a huge problem just mildly annoying how might I stop this happening?

 Have you tried hitting it....used to work for dodgy tv's

I don't understand the question. Can you give us a screenshot?

What os? Windows 7?

By bottom left thing I guess you mean the start button?

Any reason why you haven't taken it back to the people that fucked it up in the first place?

Some kind of auto run on start up set up?

are you saying that upon boot it automaticly opens the start button?

on you keyboard do you have a windows key? check this isnt sticking. give it a couple of taps

No not the start, it selects a bottom icon on the desk top but if you mouse select a top icon it opens the bottom one anyway unless you move it with the arrow keys or press page up

Probaly a stuck key, stuck up with sticky stuff.

this

no its not that

If the icon isn't important...try to uninstall it.

its not the icons fault,it'll start in the wrong place no matter what the icon is..

ah well not to worry

A screenshot may be a mahoosive help....

What laptop is it? Does the cursor jump around when you type?

Toshiba. no

You're not giving us much to go by Yeo.

Here's an interlude

it's haunted by that woman Dostoyevsky kept talking about

I really don't know what else to say,and I cant work out how to do a screen grab on this thing so fuck it, but thanks for trying :)

You must have a button that says 'print screen'?

Or could somebody with a laptop suggest to Yeo where it is?

Ive grabbed a random picture off of google

Haha a picture! It wasn't difficult to understand the problem.

Either it's an annoying windows setting (like Sticky Keys, Snap To pointer etc.) or the driver needs to be updated. I don't really know what's causing it though.

Hopefully someone will be able to help you though.

If Flashheart knows the answer then he should have to present it using screenshots.

It's definitely haunted.

computer aids

Download CC cleaner.

If you know what app it is you should hopefully be able to disable it from start up.

*Edit. Do you know what programme it is Yeo?

You're not grasping the problem at all

you've lost me

i'll leave it :)

I still don't get why you haven't taken it back to the place that fixed it and got them to resolve it, seeing as it's something they did that caused it.

nah, nor me.

Quite enjoyed this.  Have a link to my favourite video ever:
