Satellite Pro L500 - How can I prevent menu boxes popping up randomly

How can I prevent menu boxes popping up randomly and the cursor failing randomly as well?
It settles down after a while but can occur at any moment.

Different menu boxes attach themselves to the cursor and I end up with multiple menu boxes of various kind and it's really easy to accidently perform one of the functions related to a menu. Once I involuntarily increased the size of all of the desktop icons.

  • How can I prevent finder from popping up when switching spaces

    When you switch between spaces with control + arrow keys the finder window in that space becomes the active window. I'd like the order of my windows to remain the same so that I can use several spaces for different sets of apps without the finder window popping up every time I change spaces. One way to fix this is to hide the finder window with cmd+m, is there another alternative?

  • Satellite Pro L500 - Can't install Realtek LAN driver

    Hi All,
    I have recovered a Satellite Pro L500 Windows 7 pro with disc created from notebook, but now can't install a Realtek LAN driver for the notebook.
    The software driver installer dosn't seem to run correctly all the time, have tried several times to install, with only once a realtek "repair" option becoming available.
    When I did manage to install driver I got a error "device failed to start". after recovery I also had problems with a "PCL simple communications controller driver",
    which seems to have been a Intel MEI according to the VEN, DEV info displayed in systems info.
    Are these problems related and how do I Install the required driver in a automated system if the system won't detect the hardware correctly?

    Have downloaded from many sources the correct driver, but the motherboard or the OS is not discovering the network adaptor so even if the driver is installed the divice is not recognised as being there(physically installed). when installing the driver software i get the error from the realtek installer "Realtek network controller was not found. If in deep sleep mode is enabled please plug the cable". have no idea what or how deep slee is enabled and have reset bios settings to default and have reset cmos.

  • My neighbour's Mac Book Pro shows up as discoverable when Bluetooth is turned on in my iPad Air.  How can I block her device?  How can I prevent her pairing with my iPad Air. I need Bluetooth on to play music over my system.

    My neighbour's Mac Book Pro shows up as discoverable in my Bluetooth list on my iPad Air.  How can I block her Bluetooth device? How can I prevent her pairing with my device?  I need Bluetooth to stream music on my Bose system.  Thanks!

    If your device is discoverable, the other BT device would try (I am not sure if that would be successful). If it was, it would appear in your system preferences>Bluetooth.
    Take a look at this re: security:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10786
    This is from another Apple article:
    Use Bluetooth
    You can wirelessly transfer files between computers—even Mac to PC—using the Bluetooth File Exchange utility. You can even browse selected devices and retrieve files remotely. For extra security, you can stipulate that only trusted devices be allowed to connect to your Mac, and 128-bit over-the-air encryption is also available

    P.S. Since I have not had the issue, I have not researched this before. Thank you for making me look into BT security

  • How can i prevent my pro from over heating?

    How can i prevent my pro from over heating?

    Don't use the computer in your lap, or on a blanket or pillow. The case bottom is part of the heat dissipation system so it needs air underneath. If you must use the computer in your lap, get a lapboard. There are cheap, even more so if you make one yourself.
    If the computer is a older MBP with silver keys, avoid "clamshell" mode when using an external monitor. Those models let a lot of heat escape through the keyboard. The black-key Unibody versions don't seem to rely so much on the keyboard as a vent.
    Like eww said, what feels hot to you may not threaten the computer's well-being. Get a temperature monitoring utility. I like this one:
    http://bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
    It runs politely in the background and puts the readout in the menubar:
    so you don't have to invoke Dashboard like some other temp monitors require. As Dashboard loads all its widgets as soon as it's invoked, the extra widget processes can run up the temps and you don't get a true average use temp.
    If you use Dashboard a lot, those processes stay active after the first launch and can eat processor cycles as well as increase temps. I use DashQuit, a widget that shuts down Dashboard when I'm done without requiring a computer restart. It's here:
