Guest Tmuld Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Hello, I was playing an online game and noticed actions were not working - I had to double click whereas before I had to single click. I closed the game and noticed it on my OS. Had to double click links or apps whereas before I just clicked them once. Checked my mouse settings - Turn on Clicklock is off. Sometimes while using Firefox I will notice a circle with a line through it that is black and ijnstead of the pointer. If I click again, it turns back to a pointer.... What is going on??? No Virus warnings, no firewall issues.... Thanks, Tmuld

Please try a different mouse as a test. -- Joe =o)
