Well, this is fine and dandy. My mouse is currently on the fritz, so it would seem. Everytime I open an internet browser, and attempt to click on the Back button, I’m automatically sent back to the page I just left. Ex: On SDMB front page Click on MPSIMS Click back arrow Shunted from front page to MPSIMS I tried looking in the Mouse folder to correct it, and was given the message that my windows/system32/windows file is missing or corrupt. Sure enough, it is missing. (By the by, I’m running Windows XP) So…as there any help for me, or am I just screwed? ---

Ack, never mind. The error seems to have corrected itself with the third reboot of the computer. Weird. ---

Check your keyboard for sticking keys if this happens again, specifically the backspace key.
