Slightly odd problem here. My wife and I each got a new computer. Due to
some complications, I formatted and reinstalled Vista from scratch while my
wife has her's still as factory standard. All in all, I thought this was
great as I was able to get rid of the "extra" apps. that were installed w/
the factory set up, and I have a clean new Vista install.
What I have noticed however is that newly installed programs do not seem to
hightlight on my machine, but do on her's. An example would be our MS
wireless mice. I realize I could just turn off the highlighting (since its
not working anyway) and that this is hardly a big problem ... or is it? I'm
forced to wonder if - since this is "odd" if nothing else - this is a
precursor to a larger problem, a known bug, an enhacement (I have installed
all updates & patches and noticed a performance patch was issued by MS the
other week which my wife might not have received yet). Any thoughts would be
appreciated. So far, the only thing installed are MS Works and the mouse.
Neither came up as "new" on my machine, but both did on my wife's.
Thank you in advance.
