  1. Having an issue with Mouse Clicking Stopping completely


    Hi all,

    At various times, my system stops recognising mouse clicks in all but the active window (mostly the Chrome browser window). This happens frequently, but there seems to be no one thing that triggers it. For example, I can be watching a youtube video and then after 15 minutes I won't be able to open Windows Explorer or my email client or any other program. However, full functionality is available in the active browser window (but not any other browser tabs). This is not limited to Chrome, sometimes if I'm running another program then only that active program will recognise mouse clicks.

    I have googled this on quite a few forums and one workaround (the one that I have to use) is to hit CTRL-ALT-DEL and then click the Cancel button twice (the first time is not recognised). This then returns me to the desktop and everything works perfectly, right up until it doesn't. I've even noticed the problem straight after a reboot with no active programs running.

    It seems to me as if there is some type of 'invisible overlay' that covers the entire screen and will not allow clicks to pass through. (This may not be the actual problem, but it's the best way I can explain it).

    i use a razer naga trinity that i just got yesterday, all drivers etc are updated - and i’ve tried uninstalling / re installing. anyone know what to do here?
