Re: Left-Clicking Misbehavior

Why install NIS if it messes up your registry? It seems illogical given
the well known performance issues it creates.

Thanks for asking, Jim. I am a nut for clean, optimized computing. To
that end, three things drive my decision to go through the annual
routine (not to mention boredom): (1) the Registry decays over time
from various things, including my own experimental tweaking &
whatnot; (2) Symantec products, NIS particularly, leave a mess behind
(& sometimes the upgrade behaves as such) when installing newer
versions; & (3) the HD seems happier when cleaning (I also defrag
after each step of the total setup). I have already purchased NIS
2008 but my 2007 subscription won't expire until May. So around
April, I will obtain all the latest versions of programs on the i-Net
(e.g., Flash, Shockwave, Java, Mike Lin stuff, ATI programs &
drivers, etc.). Also, I have decided to purchase Webster's Dictionary
& will thus kill Encarta, & will also upgrade SureThing CD Labeler
with the much lighter download version (I use photos for the labels
anyway, so why do I need 5,000 graphics files?). As they say, Jim,
ask & you shall receive!


Purely curious - why do you have to wipe your HD ?

Could it be the mouse? I'll be replacing my Microsoft Wheel Optical
with a new one in May, the next time I wipe my HD. Thanks Malke; I
believe the problem has to be hardware.
