My cursor does not open many links. If I get a message on Linkedin the "Accept" rectangle does not work when I put my cursor on it.

M cursor changs from an arrow to the text (tall I) icon when I move it over links and "unsubscribes" and I can't respond to either Facebook or Likedin buttons.

Often if I get a link in an e-mail message my cursor will not open the link. The arrow changs back to the txt cursor and the link won't open. Help!
people send me important mesage telling me to hit a link to open something but my cursor won't open the link.???

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Tried holidng down option etc.

First check your trackpad settings to make sure all is correct.

/Library/Preferences. Trash the com.apple.finder.plist file.

Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.

Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.

Select your language.

Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.

Select Disk Utility.

Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.

Click Repair Disk.

Restart your computer when done.

Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 and restart your computer.

Empty the trash.
