    Need help with Windows 7 SP1 problem


    Since about less than a year ago I have started to have this problem that seems to only happen after I install SP1 on x64 windows 7.

    After update, my computer's desktop will not allow me to move any icons around. Even with the align to grid deselected and various other options it simply will not allow me to move icons. The second problem is when i login to the desktop I am not able to click the taskbar and the only fix is to start up task manager to even be able to click on anything on the taskbar or desktop. The third problem I experience is when i use IE or firefox (even with adblock on or off/removed), I can not even click on anything in the window, I have to either alt+tab out and back in again to work, if i goto another program it will happen once again.... The fourth problem I experience is youtube videos also require me to alt+tab out and back in to even use any play feature. Various other applications such as Origin will not allow me to click on login or play game, I have to tab around the application and hit enter.

    I don't know wether it is a hardware preference doing this, but I doubt it. If anyone has any insight, please let me know!

    Sounds like a bad mouse/cable/USB port.

    There's no way it can be a bad mouse port/usb port. I have switched usb mouses. I have switched ports, etc. forgot to mention--When I download something the download box will pop up prompting you to click on 'OK', i click on okay and it seems like im clicking thru the dl box onto the window behind. I then have to either alt+tab to the dl box again or access via task bar.

    I can't think of a w7 issue that would cause all these issues. For curiosity run this scan, once is enough, post the results.
    This may help, run the steps outlined in this tutorial, Option Two, and reboot the system:
    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
    Code:
    Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired
them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For
example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
The system file repair changes will take effect after the next reboot.
    Or a message that no integrity violations were found.
    Or that Windows Resource Protection found errors it cannot repair, if so rerun the steps above.

    Just did the scan several different ways. all come up to say that 'Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.'

    Any suggestions?

    Create a new account and see if you have the same problem there or not.

    Just created a new account and it seems as if everything works... What is causing my other account on this machine to act the way it is??

    Possible corrupt user profile.
    Not sure why this has happened to you several times however. What startup programs are you running? What programs start with the pc?
