A virus check didn't reveal any problems.
#RAZER DEATHADDER 2013 UNRESPONSIVE WINDOWS#
I run windows with - say - standard applications, my system is always up to date, I have no fancy programs/hardware installed other than stuff from renowned companies as Microsoft, Adobe, Mozzilla, Skype, Logitech, nvidia-Drivers etc. can use the mouse clicks on desktop items, the items in the taskbar won't react - or vice versa. It happens even right at start-up so that I cannot click on icons in the quickstart menu.
It happens randomly and in random intervals. Opening and closing the task manager temporarily solves the problem. It seems the "active state" switches back and forth between two windows or "levels" (when there is only the taskbar and the desktop) with each click, somewhat similar to ALT-Tabbing. A couple of weeks ago - I can't remember any special circumstances - it suddenly happened that I couldn't activate one or more windows with mouse clicks - or drag/resize them. For the last years my system worked fine. I most likely have the same problem on Vista 32 and a wired Logitech USB optical mouse.
Thank you for your time, please help if you can. As of now, I have tried every idea at this website - to no avail. If you have any ideas, I will pretty much try anything at this point. If you have any questions concerning hardware/software/what i had for breakfast, I'll gladly answer. It also occured with 2gb of corsair ram and an 8800gts graphics card. I'm running an OEM Windows Vista Home Premium, fully updated, MSI K9N4 SLI Motherboard, AMD 4600+ processor, Razor Deathadder mouse, Logitech G15 Keyboard, ATI Radeon 4870 HD Graphics card, and 4GB Mushkin ddr2 sdram. I've been told by other who have the same problem that it "Happens with touchpads, pointing stick, wireless mouse, wired USB mouse", and possibly others as well. I've also tried other mice in this computer and it still occurs.
I have tried this mouse in other computers, and the problem doesn't happen.
#RAZER DEATHADDER 2013 UNRESPONSIVE INSTALL#
Then I click cancel and go back to whatever I was doing for anywhere between 5 seconds and 30 minutes when the problem happens again This computer is virus free, and I've seen others have this problem on a fresh install of Windows Vista. When this problem happens, I can press ctrl-alt-delete, and click once anywhere on that blue screen to make the mouse begin to respond again. This occurs at any given time, while on or offline. The keyboard still responds perfectly, and all programs continue running normally. When this happens, mousing over things doesn't provoke a response For instance - Mousing over a link in a webpage doesn't turn the cursor into a hand signifying a clickable link. There is no visible active window, it's as if there is an invisible window on top of everything else, that stops the clicks from going through. Also the mouse looks like a standard pointer, not the spinning blue circle. The computer isn't freezing, you can still move the mouse but can’t click on anything. The problem that I'm having is that my mouse sporadically "unfocuses" my current active window when I click, and will not interact with anything onscreen.
