    Lets see if you guys understand my problem.
    Recently, i have started getting this problem that whenever i right click in my macbook 4 times...the 5th time when i right click my screen refreshes and the windows that i had opened close automatically.

    Will really appreciate if anyone can help me sort out this problem.

    PS: Is there any software that could RESTORE my MAC:apple: settings to an older date, as there is in Windows.

    Thanks :)

    thanks for replying... really appreciate it !!

    right clicking anywhere... its really weird ... is there to restore the factory settings of MAC OSX without deleting/uninstalling the softwares and the documents.

    Hoping or a quick reply by anyway...

    Thanks

    Unfortunately there isn't. However, you might try an Archive and Install. This will reinstall the OS and put your system folder in a "old system folder" so you still have everything.

    Had this issue before. It was a problem with a contextual menu item of Stuffit's. So if you don't use it, delete "StuffItCM.plugin" from the ~/Library/Contextual Menu Items/.

    I believe there is also a fix somewhere on StuffIt's site.

    This post has more info and helped fixed the problem: http://www.asceticmonk.com/blog/?p=499
