IE7 auto launches

CulinaryCrafter

My IE7 launches all by its self and then when I have a window open, it
minimizes and maximizes all by its self. I cannot stop it. Then it starts
opening like hundreds of IE windows. I have done a full virus, defrag,
registry check and spy ware check and it still keeps happening. Any idea on
how to fix this problem?

Thank you

PA Bear

Aha! Thanks for letting us know, CC.

HI PA Bear,

Thanks for the response. Yes I was having the same problem in no add-on
mode. What I found out was this, I have a wireless optical mouse and one of
the hot buttons was to launch IE. I remove the hot button and bam! problem
fixed.

Thanks Again!

HI PA Bear,

Thanks for the response. Yes I was having the same problem in no add-on
mode. What I found out was this, I have a wireless optical mouse and one of
the hot buttons was to launch IE. I remove the hot button and bam! problem
fixed.

Thanks Again!
