Happens sometimes for me as well. Also Windows XP Mode. Win7 Enterprise. Wireless Logitech mouse. Does not happen on the desktop PC (wired Dell mouse), only on the laptop.

I solve the problem by clicking faster. Smile

Also lots of cursing seems to help. It doesn't mitigate the problem, it just reduces my frustration level.

The problem doesn't last forever (for me). Seems to be sticky per waking session on the laptop. That is, it will start doing it after I wake the laptop from sleep state, and will keep doing it until the next time it sleeps.

You might be able to solve the problem with a scripting tool like AutoHotKey. Would be a right pain to set up, and I'm not 100% sure it would work, but you could map each control on the wizard to a hotkey combo that will send a single mouseclick to the OS (at the appropriate screen coordinates).

What we need's a few good taters.
