PROBLEM when my laptop boots up (HP Pavillion dv6000) at times it behaves strange.i have vista home premium. the sidebar will not display at all whatever you do. if you open any dropdown menu, it will display very faint and thereafter, the option on which you click on the dropdown menu,that particular will remain permanently on the screen and always on top of all other subsequent windows. any window which is minimised will not display on the taskbar. if you open my computer, the drives in that won't show up even if you keep refreshing. rest all options would appear. then you shutdown the computer and restart, at times, the same happens the second as well; and at times it starts perfectly fine the second time. otherwise you have to keep doing restarts till it starts to behave correct. any bright ideas ?

Widows Vista works just fine if I don't use Yahoo Messenger. The moment I click on yahoo messenger, my display starts blinking and I have to fix it by going to personalize-display settings-resolution. I change the resolution from high to low or low to high and the display gets back to normalcy.Please note that it's not a virus, because it has been happening from the day I purchased my laptop notebook. The first time I open my pc, it has been happening since then; at that time I did not even have internet. Since then, My pc has been completely protected by Norton and Kaspersky Internet Security. I want to use yahoo messenger 10, not the one for vista. I dont like the vista one. I would be really really grateful if anyone can give me a solution to this problem.

Problem/solution:

Occasionally I cannot type in either my email accounts or my Word documents. I can get several letters typed then the flashing curson reverses across the document/email and erases all I have typed in previously. This only happends occasionally but often enough to be a nuisance. I have swapped out keyboards to determine it is not a keyboard problem. It occurs no matter what keyboard I am using. I have run the Microsoft virus scan program and the McAfee full scan programs and they all come up clean. Anyone else having/had this problem? What was the fix? Would an upgrade to Windows 7 solve it?
