I'm not sure where to put this post, relocate it if its in the wrong place!

I'm having this problem that randomly when i click on like shall we say "computer" it will.. hard to explain but i will do my best!
When you click on a window like the "Computer" window it gets highlighted but randomly for me it will de-highlight and highlight in an flashing motion until i press rapidly on the X button to shut it down or when i go to the "windows task manager" to shut it down i have now idea what caused this and i have had this problem for a while so i think i don't have any restore points to got to i thought it was a 1 time thing but then it came more and more so i didn't do any thing until now have tried shutting down background programs to see if that woks but i don't want to shut down any important programs..

Really appreciate if someone could help me with this! =)

so what your saying is that "Advanced SystemCare 6 Pro" may have deleted some system files?
one more thing "Clean Install" is re-installing windows 7? just wondering

Bear didn't say that "Advanced SystemCare 6 Pro" may have deleted some system files he said there's no way of knowing what it did.

Anyway... the System Repair might fix it
and yes, the clean install is a re-install.

You might want to uninstall Advanced SystemCare 6 Pro and run this tutorial: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html
:ar: follow the instructions to run at least 3 times, booting between

Think I'm going to wait a while, have some things to do and then re-install windows (I think its time for it anyway) if this doesn't do it then I don't know what to do...
Thanks for all the advise!

EDIT

I have reinstalled windows 7 and I haven't had any problems with this any more so reinstalling windows is the fix I guess =)
