misterious annoyance
Help please! when I open a web page with several links, I can click and open the first linck only. When I scroll down to open anyone below the first one, the cursor jumps back to the top of the page. Is any way that I can solve the problem by myself. I am moderate computer savvy but nos a genius. I am scanning my computer with two free virus software, Lavasoft and AVG and I have also a free registry cleaner.
I will really appreciate the help!!!

P.S: one step at the time, I have other misseries but this would be the first to try to get help for!!

I've never heard of that happening before, but that sounds like some kind of setting you may be able to change in the control panel under mouse or whatever the name of it is. I know of a setting that has the mouse jump to newly opened windows, so maybe there is one about links...

total failure
Dear Ben, unfortunately, I tried your solution but it didn't work. The options for the mouse, are more regarding theuse of the wheel and left or roght use that any other settings. Thank you anyway for your consideration

Have you tried checking your browser settings or running an anti-virus utility? let me know what browser you use and i'll try to check out the settings. Here's a test you can do to see if the problem is browser related:
Try a different browser for a little bit, and check if the problem persists.

Ben, thank you again. As I told you before, I'm running AVG (the free one) and Lavasoft. I use normally IE but I tried Firefox also to no result.
I'm sorry I'm being a pain in you know what, but if you can find the solution I'll keep you in my computer dedicated altar forever.
