Hi everyone,
I have been using Win 7 64bit now since about May, when it first got released. It has really worked well for me and have got alot of use out of it. I did a reformat to kill off some partitions because they was too small for what I needed. I went to reinstall everything, it went well. got the full size partitions back. I have a pair of WD Raptors 150gb. Not in raid, wanted to do something simple and kept them as is. Here is where the issue started, I use Disk Keeper to defrag my HDs, it has always worked well for me, then I went to there site and updated the program and something went wrong , so I uninstalled it and then reinstalled without the update, now what happens is when I am using the administrator account, ( my primary, get tired of the nagging from the UAC ) The programs freeze on the desktop. I cant open a file without getting a new window open and the web browser's all do the same. When I am playing an online game, I wont be able to move in the direction I want to move in, moves me opposite of what I want. The icons on the desktop, all bunch together and I cant move them without moving all of them however if I go to the other account, it is all good, none of that happens. if anyone has any idea of what is going wrong, please advise. If there is a fix rather than a reformat, would be good, I get tired of always reformatting when something goes awry and I cant figure something out. Thank you for anything that may help me figure this out!

This might sound obvious but have you run any Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware software.. the problems sound a bit like malware.

you could try something like

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
Spybot Search & Destroy
Lavasoft Ad-Aware

Panda online virus scanner

I always run my PC free of all the junk and what not that comes from visiting various web sites and such...was wondering for a while what would cause my OS to act like the way as described...I found out that and this seems sord of silly now that I know..it was my sticky shift key...it was getting stuck in the down position...didnt even realize that the sticky shift key would cause that to happen...I just replaced the keyboard with a nice MS ...since I found that out..didnt have the same problem

Wow, good work finding it out!! Thats one of those things that can easily stay "invisible" while searching for errors.

Well done! Those simple small problems can be the most difficult ones.
