I've bought a new pc about 2 weeks ago and I noticed a strange problem in it
since day 2. Sometimes when I try to click a link, i have to click AROUND it
for some odd reason! I have done several things and some work temporarily and
fix it but it returns! any ideas on how to fix this irritating problem?

i have tried the following methods

-Changed resolution and changed back
-Unplugged monitor and replugged
-Rebooted (quite obvious)
-Minimized window and reopened it

also several others i tried but none fix it permanently! some help will be
greatly appreciated as I am very irritated by this persistent problem

Try adjusting your font size (DPI) to smaller.

Control Panel/Folder Options, General tab has a radio button to choose
single or double click behavior.

There are no solutions above...no problems either. Please turn on your
option to quote the previous message so we know what you are talking about.
We'd all appreciate it.
