[BUG?] Strange Vista mouse problem - only occurs in EQ2

[PurpleWarri]

<p>My wife has a brand new ACER Vista laptop, AMD64x2 (Dual Core) with NVidia 7000 graphics &2GB ram, and the mouse has a weird glitch.</p><p>It starts clicking on its own when she hovers over things in EQ2. It doesn't happen with any other application.</p><p>I went into the settings in vista and enabled/saved/disabled/saved on the 'Mouse Assistance' page to ensure that Vista wasn't causing the problem with the 'click when I hover over an icon' setting.</p><p>She'll hover over her icons on the hotbar and get the "You do not have a target" message on screen. Then in fights she'll lose target a lot as the mouse clicks in space, etc. It's quite annoying and frustrating as I can't find a fix. We've tried replacing the mouse (Microsoft Optical 3000) and it made no difference.</p><p>I've searched here, Microsoft's site and on Google. We've patched up to the latest drivers for her system and installed Vista SP1 with every patch thereafter - nothing helps. It doesn't happen all the time either - she went three days with no problems, then today it started up again (after we got a little patch, in case that's related)</p><p>Any ideas at all, please?</p>

Just a thought but perhaps she is touching the touchpad on the laptop when playing? The touchpad will still be active by default even with a mouse connected. Most touchpads have a "feature" that if you tap it it will act like a click. Not sure if this is what is happening but just throwing it out there.

<p>Used the Vista management app to tell it not to load the touchpad programs and she still seems to be having issues (tip I found on another game forum - seemed worth trying)</p><p>Anyone else experience this Vista mouse issue and tried something that worked, please? It's driving her nuts <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/499fd50bc713bfcdf2ab5a23c00c2d62.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /></p>
