Instant Double Click Annoyance

[Guest Glyn_Techie]

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.

Did your machine get set to "single click, point to select" in Folder

Options, General tab? Much better that way IMO.

Nope. It is still set on double click. This effects everything, even

increasing the number of copies printed. 1..3...1....3.....2...finally!

Try going to the device manager and uninstall the mouse.

Then restart the computer and let if find the mouse again. Just a thought.

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.

*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.
