    I'm not sure of Vista Premium or my couple of month old F3JP is the problem, but somethings playing up when I use my laptop,

    in a nutshell I can move the cursor wherever I want it via the trackapd or USB mouse not a problem, but when clicking on any button it doesn't respond, it seems vista is not switching focus between the windows/frames properly?

    a further example: my machine boots and up pops MSN I cant click log in but oddly I can right click on the start bar and sign in that way, or when a selection box pops up or 'do you want to close tabs in firefox' box comes up I can't click on ok/cancel anything?

    working around the problem involves minimising every window or using the curosr keys and ab to work around pop up boxes, and it sems to do it only 60% of the time too, like when it wants to work its fine, but when it plays up its a pig to use!

    Can't decide whats causing it?!?! Any ideas PLEASE!!!

    I have the same problem. For me, this area of non-workingness is a four inch square smack in the middle of the screen. Around this 'box' I can click fine. This problem is unresolved with new drivers. The solution is to reboot (works half the time), or to simply wait awhile, in which case this 'box' disappears for unknown reasons (works the other half of the time).
    What causes it i haven't the foggiest, but if you find a real solution, please forward it to me, thanks.
