my mouse refuses to interact with my desktop in almost anyway. the only thing that works is the right click and that only works when i have selected something with the keyboard. other than that my mouse works fine in windows and the start menu. at the same time internet explorer refuses to read javascript. particuarly script that pertain to opening new windwos but there are exceptions. on a side note my windows media player ceases to function as well saying that there is a internal application error but i'm not too worried about it. this all started to happen around the time that i had uninstalled norton 2004 and the farcry demo.
