    Ok, I have vista on m1530, when im surfing the web it likes to click and highlight on its own. Ill move the curser up and it acts like im holding the left button down. Issue with computer or vista or me? It also will change to the next web page. Any ideas

    Some one is controlling your computer and messing with you. :p

    Do you use an external mouse or just the touch pad?
