Poker is silly.

It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.

Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

My first intuition is your mouse. It double clicks when it shouldn't. Try going into the mouse section of the control panel and changing the properties.

What would double-clicking have to do with anything?

I'm fairly confident it's not my mouse, as it's a laptop and I'm using the touchpad sometimes and a wired mouse at others.

try an online scan from Pest Patrol or Panda

you may want to try a HiJack This! scan and see what is running on it too.

Man I have to start reading things better.

The taskbar issue is really weird.

The google thing 'sounds' like a virus. Try running adaware in safe mode.

If that doesnt work then google 'hijack this' and go to their homepage. They give free virus advice FTW.

Sorry but surprisingly enough I couldn't find a comic with a 5 foot 9, 93 pound indian guy with a pink hand bag so you can just use your imagination and problem solved........ Your welcome.

The 'keyboard' is just the bottom part of the laptop, the screen is the shiny rectangle about level with the character's shoulders.
