no it stays static in the same spot as it scrolls. If i put the mouse in the spot, its over the mouse too.

its doing it on Counter strike too like certain guages and stuff. Its driving me nuts and thiking about bringing my laptop into Best Buy. I just don’t want them to bitch saying its unsupported since the laptop is running Windows 7 even tho it did it in Vista too.

Newest ones. Also does it in Linux and vista. Really bad in counter strike. I think I’m gonna try to deal with Best Buy. They said they service Gateway warranties when I bought it so hopefully they honor that.
