    hello all.

    Recently, my mouse has become a very recalcitrant rodent. The pointer moves as directed but he drag and click behaviours have become a problem. I now have difficulty highlighting a text string and single-clicking a file or icon opens them rather than selecting them. It’s as if the single click is behaving as a double click. At first I suspected that their were some nasties working in the background but the checks I have made reveal nothing. I have also downloaded the latest drivers with no joy. I have also used TweakUI to adjust some settings but again to no good effect.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

      Optical mouse, or an old coal-fired jobbie?
      Wireless or wired?
      Can you try another mouse on your pc, or another mouse on yours to try and pin down what it may be?

        Optical Mouse – plug-in. Just trapped a different mouse and will give it a go.
        Thanks Leif.

        The different mouse is most compliant. Thanks again.

          Sounds like a hardware issue then – probably not cost/time effective to sort out, I’m afraid crazy
