I have windows 7 pro, and sometimes, i don't know why, i can't click anything. If i have chrome open i can click chrome tabs and stuff but i can't click anything in explorer(not the browser)

 

why is this, how do i resolve this, if possible i don't want to reinstall cause downloading all my software takes forever even with a 80mbps down network.

i know for a fact that it's not the mouse. i have used a logitech g700s, razer mamba 2012, razer deathadder 3.5g and a wacom bamboo create tablet

I have a reason for asking that. Since you use a Logitech G series mouse you probably use the Logitech Gaming Drivers. Just a couple of days ago i had about the same problem with them, tho after crash because of unstable overclock.

 

In this case it usually helps to close the LCore.exe in the taskmanager.

 

Maybe that helps.

Try re-installing the drivers, the other option is to run the registry scanner in Ccleaner and delete any registry keys that it shows to delete.

Did you manipulate the explorer.exe in any way? Like applying 3rd Party windows themes?

 

Is your Windows up to date?

 

PS. Never mind that about your theme, just read in the other thread that you use vanilla aero.
