PC toggles Desktop and Applications - no control

Post by jwka »

Hi all,

I am having a strange problem with one remote machine running Win7 64 (that I cannot access physically right now) that I am connecting to via UltraVNC:

Anything I do on that machine just toggles between Desktop and Applications, just as if I would left-click on the "show desktop" icon (that I truly have in the task bar of trhat machine).

Also, when I move the cursor and then stop to move it (by not moving the mouse anymore), it seems to "jump back" to that position (wherever that is) and a popup tect "Show Desktop" appears for a few seconds.

So, I assume that anything went nuts on that machine ... unfortunately I cannot control it to find out, also I cannot shutdown "brutally" to re-start windows as I cannot maneuvre to the "restart-option".

Any ideas how I can get back control over that machine?

Thanks in advance!

Finally got someone to go to the PC. A USB mouse was the devil.

Have no idea why that happened "some day" without anyone touching, but just in case someone will stumble over the same error ... removing the mouse might help.
