    I purchased an XPS M1530 a few weeks ago and have just started having a problem the last 4 or 5 days. Once or twice a day the ability to left click stops. The pointer moves, I just cannot click on anything. This effects my mouse (Microsoft Bluetooth 5000) and the button on the touchpad. Buttons that highlight when you mouse over them also stop highlighting.

    Putting the XPS to sleep and pressing the powerbutton to resume always fixes the problem. Any ideas what may be causing this? The most recent change I made was adding 2GB of memory in place of one of the original 1GB's. This was several days prior to this starting however.

    Thanks,

    Rick
