top left corner of c90 screen not responding to mouse clicks

Hi

This is a very odd problem, I think its been going on for a while but I am not 100% sure.

Laptop is running Vista Ultimate. without sp1 atm.

Basically today I was online, using the touch pad to navigate, I decided to go back a page but I just could not click the back arrow, so i figured Firefox had locked up. But the odd thing was all my RSS feeds in the link bar where working, so I had a further look, everything from the history menu to the right was working, everything from the home button right was working and everything below that was ok.

So I decided to load up opera to see if it was Firefox and same deal, so I open up word 2007, the home office button in the top right, the home link, save and undo and redo don't work.

In My Computer the back and forward buttons don't work and neither does organise, everything below and to the right is ok.

Does any have even the slightest idea what might cause this? is there any chance it could be software or is my screen stuffed? I'm pretty sure it comes and goes but will need to confirm.

A screen capture of the approx area is attached, what is odd is I could use the vista snipping tool and drag over the area no problems.

That's really weird. Perhaps there is something that is opened but transparent there?

 

its turbogear. change the profile in turbogear to fix it.

 

Ahhh, right, Turbogear is probably permanently on.

Good call.

 

I had the same issue.
It is not the Turbogear profile but the Turbogear version.
I switched back to the old V1.00.14 and that is working fine.
Uninstall Turbogear and use an older version.

 

cheers guys!

that's gold, I never would have thought that in a million years, how does one come to work out turbogear is the offender?

This maybe better suited to another topic but twice today my laptop has hang when I went to restart it.

The first time was this morning when at my folks place I went to go online they are stuck with dial up where they live, so I plugged the phone cable in and went to dial up however the modem was not responding at all, (has happened before) so I go to restart but the machine just hung on 'windows is shutting down'.

Then about 15min ago I went to play some Fifa, turned on my machine and plugged in the dongle for my wireless Logitech Rumble Pad, It came up with something about windows could not recognise the USB device, at first I though batteries but that didn't help, so did a restart and same deal, it just hangs.

Usually I hibernate they machine, but it seems to only do this hanging business when something isn't working properly.

Has anyone seen this on the c90 before? I'm guessing its O/S or driver related?

Thanks for the help everyone!

Well when you change modes the dialog pops up right there, and many of us c90 owners are very crafty and think outside the box so we just figure stuff out like that.

 

I think I was the first to discover it, but was too late to respond to this thread

Well, it was easy, because I had the old version which was working perfectly fine before, until I upgraded to the newer TurboGear. That area on the top left corner is the ATK software and I knew right away that TurboGear was the culprit when I killed the GearHelp App. So I uninstalled and reinstalled the older version, and that bug went away...

 

Re: OS hanging: I think the hanging is OS related... If it only happens when something goes wrong with devices, you can't realistically expect it to work better (it's a 2008 OS, after all)...
