    Well I'm not sure I can explain my problem and it's something I've never really experienced either...and I took computer tech classes back in college.

    Anyhow, have you ever seen those maps like what is used by google where you can zoom in and out of clicking on the +/- with your mouse? Well computer or mouse is doing that to every web site? It zooms in and out of every forum page I visit including forums. Then it opens a new window for every page? It's getting on my last nerve.

    Thanks in advance for anything,

    Ray

    It sounds like a setting in Firefox for opening links in new windows, it is in the options somewhere, as for the zooming I am clueless.

    Sounds like your control key is stuck in the down position.

    When you depress the control key and use the scroll on the mouse it resizes the website.

    The control key is in the normal position.

    I wonder if my keyboard is shorting out of something. This problem isn't a constant one but annoying when it happens.

    Sometimes it doesn't appear to be stuck, but it is. You kinda have to hit it with some force...

    Of course, this only works if it's really what the problem is. :lol:

    I think I may through it the back of the truck the next time I head to the range.

    I hate to ask such a basic question, but, is it cordless? If so, are the batteries good?

    That's all I can think of. :(
