  1. I can't close or minimize a window using the icons in the upper right corner of the window


    I can't close or minimize a window using the icons in the upper right corner of the window.
    I resize or move any window.
    I can't get a right click pop-up to work on the bottom program tray.
    I do not get any error code or message. Nothing happens

    I CAN close a window via an alt-f4, file>exit or using Task Master.

    :)

    Upper right corner lag.

    Fix

    The problems can be fixed pretty easily.

    For Windows 7 users. (for different OS's usable but these steps refer to Windows 7 OS)


    • Go to your Control Panel.
      Go to Hardware and Sound
      Then go to you're Mouse settings. (It's in the blue text under Devices and Printers)
      At the Mouse settings menu you go to the Pointers Tab

      On this tab you just have to disable: Enable pointer shadow

      Press apply and you're done!
