Minimizing screens with Vista

When on my laptop, I can click in the middle of the page and the whole window
will either close or minimize. This happens with any window or screen I have
open. It's getting to the point where I am ready to get rid of Vista. Can
someone please help? I don't know for sure if my description above is
reliable. Thanks in advance!!!

I would guess you have some driver conflict in one of the Human Interface
devices (HID). Your mouse driver, touch pad, keyboard, or whatever.

What laptop do you have? Sounds like you have an Alps touchpad (or
similar), which can be configured to use the 'gestures' to scroll, close or
minimise windows. It's actually pretty cool once you get used to it, but if
it is too much for you, it can be disabled. Look in Mouse in Control Panel.
