Answer» How do I fix my laptop? I have SEVERAL problems - the mouse doesn't seem to work, I have tried using a usb mouse as well as the touchpad. Left clicking doesn't often work and right clicking displays the menu for a split second before it disappears. Also programmes like taskmanager and properties menus simply disappear. Internet pages also fail to load (sometimes opening links in a new tab works). When i try to write in the search bar the letters disappear almost as soon as they are typed. I tried system restore. A Usb mouse, updating drivers, A registry fixer. But it feels like the internet and mouse problem is combined, and that it's something stopping the actions of the mouse and not the mouse itself? Please help Windows xp home edition Quote A registry fixer. Uhh ohhhhh.What registry fixer? You used it before or after these problems started? As I understand your post, you tried that as a troubleshooting step to try to resolve the problem, in other words, after the problem started. Is that right?
