Seeing right mouse messages after doing a certain actions [unresolved]

Hey all,

Here to share some annoying stupid issue I'm having of late. I had a game that didn't work on my pc and tried to get it to work and found a work around but as a result created the issue I'm having now.

I have had it for some weeks but didn't get around to reporting it here or someplace else because even when screenshotting it didn't appear on the screenshot until now.

Whatever action I do like clearing my trash bin or copying something it then appears. Not always the same message. It depends on what my last mouse action has been. I see what you see below everywhere I go. But when I fire up a video game it is gone and when I exit it is also still gone until next time after a mouse click. Sometimes when doing certain mouse actions I don't got any issues other times I have.

I hope someone knows what to do... I really got no clue what triggered this.

Have you tried a system restore?

Sadly its to long in the past and I would simply loose to much data and windows updates I did from restoring to a certain point. Its all a bit foggy to say the least in relation to when I started tweaking settings.

Is there anything else I can do?

 

[Jacee]

Can you find the instructions for the 'work around' and undo them?

 

[Max Pen]

I acted on what I could google. Tried many things. I could try doing a clean boot? As I remember to have edited stuff in msconfig.exe and have un-installed Asus Gamer OSD which I re-installed afterwards.

But the problem is that it takes a while and sometimes happens at random this issue.

Let's see what's actually going on ... Download DDS from one of these links:
DDS.com
DDS.pif

• Disable any script blocking protection
• Double click the dds icon to run the tool.
• When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
  1. DDS.txt
  2. Attach.txt <--- will be minimized in the task tray
• Save both reports to your desktop.

Include the contents of both logs in your next post.
The scan will instruct you to post Attach.txt as an attachment.

Hello,

I am sorry but I just added both as an attachment. Hope that is alright?

Regards,
Matt.

This appears to have been resolved by removing the program TerraCopy. I re-installed it and the error didn't occur again. Really odd stuff. That program worked fine until I started messing around to get that one game to work.

Thanks for posting the solution and for helping any other members or anyone who googled.

Have a great day!

The error has returned! << I even removed the program (Teracopy) but that doesn't keep the error from occurring.

So sadly I had to mark this to unresolved.

Maybe its caused by this: http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/564/tdxf.png

I was forced to install those programs to make GTA work.

Okay found the troublemaker. Skype, latest version 6.11.102.

Should I install an other version? I won't loose my data right?


Dang it, wrong again. It also happens in my windows control panel when I choose under view "large icons".

Here it is. I removed some items in the log that are in the download folder and not installed that can't have any cause to my issue. (I am not 100% sure but pretty sure that the items involved from http://www.yamicsoft.com is a legit source.)

Also some good news I think. I did a clean boot and removed all programs on startup but my firewall and malware program.

And since then the error has not occurred again.

But I did see in the log some odd data that I didn't know for sure was a virus or nothing harmful.

If needed I can delete all things the virus scanner told me to remove. But I'm not exp any issues right now.

I didn't do a full backup because that would take a lifetime to scan through. Most of the time viruses are on the C drive of your windows. And I don't experience anything of the odd behaviour that could indicate a virus.

Anything that MBam detects... delete it! The log shows PUPS ("Potentially Unwanted Programs"). These may have come in 'bundled' with other software/programs you downloaded. They're also known as 'foistware'.

Everything that is showing in the .temp folders, is adware you don't want! Delete it.

After you've done that, download AdwCleaner by Xplode and save to your Desktop.

• Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool.
  Vista/Windows 7/8 users right-click and select Run As Administrator.
• Click on the Scan button.
• AdwCleaner will begin...be patient as the scan may take some time to complete.
• After the scan has finished, click on the Report button...a logfile (AdwCleaner[R#].txt) will open in Notepad for review (where the largest value of # represents the most recent report).
• The contents of the log file may be confusing. Unless you see a program name that you know should not be removed, don't worry about it. If you see an entry you want to keep, let me know about it.
• Copy and paste the contents of that logfile in your next reply.
• A copy of all logfiles are saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder which was created when running the tool.

Done it all as you asked. Isn't cleaning your registry a bad idea? I mean it could mess up the system. Many don't recommend it but if you say that what is shown in the log does no harm for being removed then I'll believe you.

I don't suppose there is a backup plan? If something goes wrong with my system I can't recover right?

Here's an interesting article about it: http://lifehacker.com/5482701/whats-the-registry-should-i-clean-it-and-whats-the-point

I took a backup of my registry, just in case.

In short; If you say yes I'll delete it all.

Sorry, I'm late

Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool again.
Click on the Scan button.
AdwCleaner will begin to scan your computer like it did before.
After the scan has finished...

This time click on the Clean button.
Press OK when asked to close all programs and follow the onscreen prompts.
Press OK again to allow AdwCleaner to restart the computer and complete the removal process.
After rebooting, a logfile report (AdwCleaner[S#].txt) will open automatically (where the largest value of # represents the most recent report).
Copy and paste the contents of that logfile in your next reply.
A copy of that logfile will also be saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder

Alright here it is.

Now what should I do? Because it seems the error is still present after all this time.
