mouse problems
I am running Windows xp sp3 on all my computers.
Two of my computers are now having mouse problems. Many times when I click the left button on the mouse, it will be a double click. I have checked the mouse settings and have tried to slow down the speed, but the problem still is there. The mouse settings are still at single click. I tried to do download mouse drivers, but I keep getting "Driver Detective" which I do not want, or to pay for. Has anyone any advise to fix this problem? Thank you.. Saywhat |

Who made the Mouse???
The manufacturers website would be the place to search for drivers. How old is the mouse........they do wear out. Nothing lasts forever peter -- If you find a posting or message from me offensive,inappropriate or disruptive,please ignore it. If you dont know how to ignore a posting complain to me and I will be only too happy to demonstrate :-) "Virgil & Linda" wrote in message ... I am running Windows xp sp3 on all my computers.

Saywhat The "button" on a mouse is a piece of plastic whose flexibility due to cuts allow it to have a hinge. That button flap then presses down on a pushbutton switch underneath. If the plastic hinge gets worn (fatigued) then it gets closer to the pushbutton switch making it much easier to press the pushbutton switch more than once. In fact, if the mouse is over fatigued (especially from abuse, like smacking it), that plastic flap (the "button") could actually be resting against the pushbutton switch and causing multiple closures of the switch. The switch can go bad, too. Get a new mouse. Or try a different one (with less wear and/or abuse). |

I have checked the mouse settings and have tried to slow down the speed, but the problem still is there. The mouse settings are still at single click. Sounds more like a mouse problem. Assuming they're all the same connection (i. e. PS/2 [round], USB [flat rectangular], or - very unlikely on XP machines! - serial [D shaped]), have you tried the mouse from the machine without the problem in place of their own mice on the other two machines, to see if the problem persists? I tried to do download mouse drivers, but I keep getting "Driver Detective" which I do not want, or to pay for. Basic mouse drivers, for PS/2 and I think USB, are built-in to XP (and even '9x); you shouldn't need drivers. If you are looking at pages offering drivers, things like "driver detective" are often the big most obvious button on the page, but are not the download button you actually need. But as I say I'd be most surprised if you need _any_ mouse driver, assuming we're talking fairly conventional (i. e. external, ball or optical) mice, not a touchpad or similar. Has anyone any advise to fix this problem? Thank you.. Saywhat Do tell us how you get on. -- J. P. Gilliver.
