Constant Fliping between Maximize - Restore Down

I just got a new machine with Vista and just about every thing I touch
toggles the window I am looking between the Maximized and Restore Down
version of the window. How can I stop this annoying feature?

Re: Constant Fliping between Maximize - Restore Down

should only be happening if you click along the border of a window or the top of a window.

Re: Constant Fliping between Maximize - Restore Down

I have the same problem. Using Vista on Toshiba Satellite P105-S6147.
The window changes sizes from what I set, to maximize, and even minimizes totally at times.
I also get a very small scroll box within the window occasionally. Have searched for instructions on windows, touchpad, learning vista, etc but no avail. I have even tried playing mahjong game to learn if it's something I am doing wrong.
It also happens when trying to click on a box to enter data i.e. password.

Re: Constant Fliping between Maximize - Restore Down

if you are using a mouse, have you tried a different one.

Re: Constant Fliping between Maximize - Restore Down

I am NOT using a mouse but that sounds like an option for debugging.
