    I have calibration issues only in IE9


    My most reliable internet source is IE9. One day, I cleaned my keyboard without shutting down my computer. I was still on my email page. Now, whenever I click something, such as something on google, it usually selects an option 1 or 2 above or below. It doesn't select the correct one. Also, when i try to click something, i have to right click and press open. This is very Inconvenient. I ignored it for a while, but now I can't even register for certain programs. When it has those selecting options, it wouldn't let me open the options. When i finally did, selecting it only brought me back up to my name! Whenever i press backspace, it brings me to the previous page.

    So when you use another browser, everything is normal ?

    Someone with more knowledge may opine, but I would begin by resetting IE9. Go to Internet Options/Advanced/Reset and/or uninstall and reinstall IE9.

    Try checking your Mouse & Keyboard settings , open Control Panel & select view by icons.

    Have you tried simply doing a system restore?

    To run a system restore:
    Windows orb (start button)
    Control Panel
    Click view by large icons
    Click backup and restore
    Click recover system settings on your computer
    Click open system restore
    Click next
    Click show more restore points

    Check the restore point dates- is there a date you think may be before the
    problem occured?
    If so click on that restore point, click next and take heed of the warnings.
    You will lose recently added programs and updates.

    If you don't already, it is a good idea to occasionally create a
    restore point manually so you can fix these sort of problems
    easily. I usually create a restore point before any new installs
    of any type and if not doing an install I will still manually create
    a restore point once every few days (weekly minimum- yes I'm paranoid!!!).

    The following link will show you how to manually create restore points
    on your machine. System Restore uses a managed piece of space
    on the hard drive for storing the restore points, this space can be increased
    (99% sure) if required but that's another lesson.

    Let us know how you go :)

    P.S: Also try uninstalling the driver for your keyboard and then re-installing.
    I would think that the deafult settings would be applied back to your keyboard
    if you do this (do same for mouse if required). Come to think of it, I would probably
    try that first!!!!

    I knew I'd have to edit!!! Always do! The link mentioned above is:

    Just a note about editing, AllOnTheBus. After you've saved and exited your post, you can go back and edit it merely by clicking on the Edit link. You don't have to give a reason, in fact, you can just change the text to whatever it is that you wanted to say, and chances are, the members will not even know that the post has been edited. Even if you've waited a bit too long, and you get the "Edited by. . ." notation at the bottom of your post, it really doesn't matter --- editing is very common for many of us who want our posts to be as accurate as possible.

    And PS, I thought your suggestion about doing a system restore was a wise one. That's what I would've suggested for the OP as well.

    Should have suggested this first, if you have access to another keyboard & mouse try using them instead.

    OK someproblems

    Obviously you are going to have troubles restoring because there are no restore points available to you .
    Remember what I said in the previous post and start manually creating restore points for occasions such as you are in now and it can help you to easily resolve your problems.

    With that being said , have you tried stve's suggestion of trying a different keyboard and mouse?
    This is a process of elimination to try to solve your problem.

    Could you also please post an image back here of your keyboards and mice and other pointing devices from the device manager on your system.

    To do this:
    Windows orb (start button)
    Control Panel
    View by large icons
    Device manager
    Expand the keyboards and mouse and other pointing devices sections by clicking the small arrow next to each of these sections
    Take a screenshot and post

    This will help to determine if there may be a problem with drivers and to give information on where to find a "clean" download to replace them if they are corrupted.

    Could you please also provide details about the manufacturer of your system
    and what model it is (supply details from any stickers you can find on your system) so as to allow us to find what you require quicker.
