LG monitor seems to have overwritten defaults for mouse click and desktop layout

Hi, I have searched before posting this query so apologies if I am
treading over well worn territory.

My Father has a Satellite Pro a120 running Vista. A while back he
connected a 24" LG monitor and ever since then he's been having to
reset his mouse click speed and reorganise his desktop icons every time
he starts his laptop. The laptop has had performance issues since then
too, often crashing.

The laptop is a couple of years old and came with Vista, the monitor is
about a year old. *Could it be a drivers issue?* Google'ing around I
found a LG driver update download for Vista from Driver Robot which
seems worth a go.

We live on different sides of the planet so I don't have direct access
to the laptop.
Thanks in advance for any advice you have.
