Stupid question, but I don't know if this was with the install of IE7 or not. Started after my vid card went out and I uninstalled the drivers, but I also installed IE7 around the same time.


Whats happening:

Every time I move the mouse, the current window loses focus. I.e. I'm doing a search with CTRL-F, move the mouse off the search box, and it instantly loses focus.

I click drag and try to copy text, but its lost focus the second I move the mouse and doesn't copy.

Worst part is with the system tray. I basically have to try about 5-10 times before I can move the mouse over the part I need, before it auto-closes due to loss of focus.

It also happens with the start menu. I have to make sure I move the mouse straight up, or it instantly closes the start menu.



Is there a tweak or something out there to fix this that someone could point me towards?


Thanks
