Mouse clicks twice instead of once.

Question

Hello,

I need your insights. For some time now, when I click with my mouse, it double clicks instead of single clicking. It annoys me tremendously...
I changed my mouse, and I still have the same problem...

I swapped the left and right buttons (which is super simple!!), it works, but when I work a lot with my mouse, I have the same problem again...

I have a wired optical mouse...
I think it might be a virus, but it surprises me that it only affects the mouse...

Thanks in advance...

PS: I'm not a computer expert, so please be nice in your explanations...!! Thank you

Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0

But, you are a barbarian Helli!!

There’s another way then ^^'

on Vista:

Right-click on your desktop then: personalize.

Click on: mouse pointer.

At the top left, you will have a button called: buttons
and in the middle, it says: double-click speed.

Set it to slow and click Apply/OK

and the problem is solved!

I have the same problem too. I thought it was the first mouse that was acting up, but it does the same thing with another one. I'm using Vista Premium...

Good evening, I have the same problem; I think Vista has a lot to do with it, because previously on XP I didn't have this issue. I should mention that I have a wireless mouse on a USB port.
If anyone has a solution, I’m interested.

Thanks in advance.

Greetings, I find it amusing all these unanswered messages so I'm adding mine:

I have exactly the same problem on 4 different mice of different brands, optical or ball.

Windows XP Professional SP1 SP2 and SP3, it's been doing this for a long time now.

Hello Helli,

I completely agree with you;
For my part, I should have posted that my mouse started working properly
(I don’t know how, maybe a bad USB connection), a few days after
my first message?.

See you later

I came back to tell you how I pseudo-solved my problem:

I opened my mouse, unclipped the cover, used a very thin flat screwdriver to unclip the left switch... and I adjusted the pins inside so they would have more spring...

Basically, I butchered my mouse, which means there's a significant defect and fragility in the manufacturing of this type of micro-switch in many mice, from various brands and in the mid-price range.

For example, I invested in a relatively expensive mouse... so I wouldn't waste my money on 5-6 mice costing 5-18-30-50 euros... it's working great. I chose a mouse designed for intensive use. (80 euros)

My advice, butcher your mouse, or invest directly in an excellent mouse (with many good reviews) so you don't have to pay the same amount for 5 Microsoft, Logitech, Saitek... etc. mice.

Before giving this kind of advice, here's what I did:

- Updated Windows
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the PS2 mouse drivers
- """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" USB
- Changed the PS2 port
- Changed the mouse
- Changed the connection type (PS2/USB)
- Used a PS2/USB adapter
- Tested the mice on other systems
- Threw my mouse out the window
- Threw my PC out the window

Good luck to those who have this problem and will have to go through the same steps as I did.

See U

kamote · Answer

I found a solution, (however to be verified as I do not have the problem but paradoxically I am looking for how to turn my click into a double click)

- under Vista: right click on the desktop: Personalization
Then click on Mouse Pointers, go to the Button category (the leftmost one), this category is used to define what the click will do (backwards, ctrl, etc...) and choose click for the left button and apply!

Once again I don't know if this technique is reliable but if it doesn't work it's probably a mouse problem.

BriscoPaPa · Answer

Do not plug a USB2 mouse into a USB1 port. For my part, the problem came from there.

souris · Answer

Hi, I know your problem! The left side is worn out; it must be touching the base. I advise you to file it a bit, and I'm sure it won't click twice!

Alastair · Answer

I have had a damn similar problem for a while now. I’m used to double-clicking to avoid clicking on just anything, and suddenly... it started acting up. The cursor reacts to the first click, and well, since I’m someone who hates change, I’m asking for help.
