There are times when I'll click on maybe a web button or anywhere in any
active window (usually when I try to select the scroll bar) and the screen
will either maximize or shrink to a smaller window. WHY does this happen?
Or better, how can I stop this? Thanks!
 
hello there
i am having the same problem it gets to the point that i am ready to throw
the com puter out the window. i haven't figured out how to stop it yet but
man is it annoying i thought i was the only one having this problem but mine
does it when i am on the net, when i am on media player or playing games it
just does it
if u figure out a way to fix it let me know
also maybe check your settings that is what a best buy guy told me he's on
the geek squad but that didn't work.
let me know if u figure anything out
thanks
 
I found the answer on another thread just the other day. I have a Toshiba
laptop. The problem for me was that when I clicked on the TouchPad, the
screen minimized... This happened because the Toshiba comes with a default
setting for "TapZones, " which means that you can tap in the left corner and
you can minimize the window, the right corner and the Start menu can pop up.
etc. You can customize these zones to do whatever you want, or, like me,
just turn the stupid things off. =) If you have a similar machine, here's
what you can try:

go to control panel and under "Hardware and Sound," click on "Mouse."
Click the "Device Settings" tab.
Under the Devices window, click the "settings" button.
Expand the "Tapping" menu, then double click "Tap Zones."
In that window, you can either turn them off, resize the zones, or reassign
different settings.

Happy tapping!
 
Awesome find thwapper. I was on the verge of letting my hair grow out so I
could pull it out this was so annoying. Thanks.
