    So I purchased a used Sager 8150 which was reformatted when i received it. I'm running into a problem with mouse gestures, everytime i'm playing a game and I make an L motion while holding down the mouse key, it will make the computer do a OSX style expose minimizing the game. I'm not sure how to change it, does anyone have any help?

    Sounds like a malfunctioning mouse.

    Are you talking about a mouse or the trackpad?

    I'm talking about the mouse, sorry the title is a bit misleading.

    Whenever I hold down the left mouse button and make an L shape, it will do a macbook style expose thing and show me all my open programs.

    I will try it with another mouse and see if it has the same issue.

    The only thing I can think of that would do that on the trackpad/mouse buttons on the laptop would be Synaptic gestures. Try seeing if you have any enabled under control panel > mouse > device settings > settings. You can turn on/off Synaptics features through there.
