Guest Glyn_Techie Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Before you ask, I have searched ans searched the web for an answer to this. Simple problem to explain. My mouse instantly double clicks in all applications. I have checked drivers, checked the sensitivity settings, checked all settings in the mouse applet in Control Panel in fact. The mouse is not old as the whole PC is only about 8 months old, so it isn't worn out either. I have even swapped out the mouse for another from a different machine. This is getting past annoying as it makes selection and movement in Excel very difficult. (About 80% of my day is in Excel). Any suggestions that do not cover the ground already crossed.

Much better that way IMO. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

Guest Glyn_Techie Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Re: Instant Double Click Annoyance Nope. It is still set on double click. This effects everything, even increasing the number of copies printed. 1..3...1....3.....2...finally!

Guest Richard in AZ Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Re: Instant Double Click Annoyance Try going to the device manager and uninstall the mouse. Then restart the computer and let if find the mouse again. Just a thought.

Guest Unknown Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Re: Instant Double Click Annoyance Don't know your mouse driver, but on my mouse driver I can configure the buttons in control panel--mouse---buttons. In left button drop down menu there is a setting for double click. Even if you do not have this, I would suggest configuring the left button to anything and then reset it to single click.

Guest JF Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 Re: Instant Double Click Annoyance *Bonjour Glyn_Techie * ! <news:EB94782E-4833-491B-A748-1B284E7CF387@microsoft.com> > My mouse instantly double clicks in all applications. I recently got this strange problem after connecting a new Belkin Powerline CPL networking adapter. Everything fine after : 1/ cut off power for everything 2/ new start 3/ connections So my suggestion is : disconnect devices and start again. -- Regards, Jean-François
