k, so i was just doing normal stuff with the mac...
and i guess i did a strange click...
so everytime i move the mouse....the desktop (entire screen) will move..and it's really frustrating..
anyone ever have this problem?

okay, so i'm a big idiot. somehow i enabled the zoom. and just had to turn it off..issue resolved!
sorry, i'd delete this if i knew how!

heh, i had the same problem. if you have a scroll-wheel mouse and you press control and scroll, you can zoom in and out. took me about 3 days to figure that one out.

Go to your Keyboard and Mouse settings in System preferences and see if Zoom has been selected?
