My display will re-size itself. When I click on the scroll bar, the screen
might get bigger or smaller. I put it back to the correct size, try to
scroll, same thing. it may happen 3 or 4 times (& resize 3 or 4 times)
before it will actually scroll. when playing freecell, i click to drag a
card and the entire freecell screen will get bigger (or smaller if already
bigger). In aol when sending an email, a click on the send button may result
in resizing either the email screen itself or the entire aol screen. may
have to click several times (after re-sizing) to get it to send. has done
this since i bought the computer. More often then not a tap on the laptop
mouse will result in resizing and not whatever i was trying to get it to do.
I am NOT clicking on the resize/mazimize button in any of these cases. Help!

Make sure the control key is not stuck.

I don't think it is stuck. If it was wouldn't it do this all of the time?

This is happening to me also.. and it is a pain, when I am working in my
class--the window gets small, the cursor moves, I have to go back and retype
anything. I HOPE someone can help.. as it is a pain.. and my control key is
not stuck, either.
