Keeps tabbing to desktop automatically (G74sx)

For some reason while I'm on a browser, or games, or anything, it keeps tabbing out to desktop automatically randomly... Sometimes it does it every 5 seconds, sometimes it won't do it for an hour. I can't play any games anymore cause I keep getting tabbed out every few seconds.

Are you using a USB Mouse with the touchpad still enabled?

Do you have a Sentelic or Synaptics touchpad?

What version touchpad driver are you currently running?

I am using a USB mouse, touchpad *disabled* and it appears to be Sentelic.

I have a similar problem in full screen games.

I have multiple monitors attached and it has something to do with a right click and drag operation. Most of the time everything is fine and the pow, full screen game is minimized and I'm looking at desktop.

G74s, Windows 7, 64bit, Logitech wireless mouse.

And it's when I'm dragging to the right, not to the left. The full screen game is on the center monitor, laptop is on the right.

Try updating your Sentelic driver version to 9.1.7.7. Earlier version Sentelic drivers have an issue with the touchpad re-enabling itself after being disabled.
