mouse won't doubleclick on newly downloaded SP2

I have a standard mouse plugged into a PS/2 port. Never had any problems
with the mouse until I installed SP2. Now, I can't doubleclick on anything.
It works for a single left and right click, but I cannot get it to
doubleclick with the left clicker. What the heck is wrong with it? I tried
to troubleshoot it, and nothing seemed to work on it. Any suggestions?

have you tried going into the control panel and under "mouse" check the
setting there

A double click on a mouse button is physically initiated by you. Are you
saying that you are not capable of counting to two? (-:
