single click = double click?

vivrantpig · December 12th, 2004

I have a weird problem with my mouse where sometimes if i single click on sumthing (for example the title bar) it will double click. im not sure if this is a problem with sumthing with my computer or the mouse itself.. anyone ever h ave this problem? its sooooo annoying

There is some sort of setting in the Accessibility options, look around in there

but the problem is that it only happens sumtimes not all the time

Metalmurphy · December 12th, 2004

Do you happen to own an Intellimouse? I went to a cyber cafe the other day. Almost every mouse had that problem. But it wasnt a virus or something. If i clicked carefully and in the beguining of the button it would work ok.

vivrantpig · December 12th, 2004

^^ yes i do have one

i guess its time for a new mouse

Metalmurphy · December 12th, 2004

Actually, imo, dont buy a diferent one. I have an intelmouse and i simply love it. I tried many other mouses but this one is simply the best. Intelimouse 1.1. You just gotta be more carefull with it

And they're really cheap. Around 15€ here.

vivrantpig · December 13th, 2004

yeh i love it too

but i think i might move to the microsoft optical mouse.

**Kane** · December 13th, 2004

I had an MSIntellimouse Explorer (orig version) and that had the same problem at the end of it's life. fortunately MS are really good about returns.
I also have an Intellimouse Optical which as yet is not experiencing these problems, and a creative Optical mouse, which is ****e next to the MS mice.

**hushypushy** · December 14th, 2004

ugh, i hated my Intellimouse. good thing my sister has it now

that thing had a boatload of problems. one, the laser didnt track well so playing CS it'd freak out all the time. the scroll wheel got all soggy and now gets stuck all teh time. it wont work with a USB-->PS2 convertor (no idea why not) and it also wont work unless i use the driver disc (sucks to install drivers sans mouse). what a piece of crap. unergonomic too :/

**n_w95482** · December 14th, 2004

That's odd, my Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 works without installing the drivers, even in Windows 98. The wheel has deteriorated a little bit, the main problem is that it's shifted to the left and sometimes rubs up against the plastic. It works fine with the USB->PS/2 adapter but I never use it (I love the smoothness of USB). I'm not sure what mouse to get after this one dies, perhaps a Logitech MX510 or a MX1000

. I doubt it's going to die anytime soon though, I think I bought it sometime in mid-2002.

**hushypushy** · December 14th, 2004

meh, i dont know, i always hated it. but, i am gonna get a MX510 or 1000 soon too, they are so great.

D.D. · December 14th, 2004

for some reason my intellimouse's optical sensor was also screwed...sometimes it would make the mouse teleport. since getting an mx500, i havent looked away from logitech.

Metalmurphy · December 14th, 2004

hum, got my intelemouse for 3 years now and i can't picture me using another, and im not havin any problems u said hushypushy. Dont need the drivers and the PS2 adaptor works for me. And about the laser no tracking maybe u need a better mouse pad. Then again my mouse pad is a simple piece of printer paper. And its smooth as butter

Try adjusting you double click speed under control panel > mouse. Or maybe your mouse is just wearing out.
