Mouse Double Click Problem

Post Reply New Topic

My computer's mouse has been doubling clicking everything it single clicks and I don't know what to do. I open two browsers at the same time. I open two tabs at the same time. When I click on an option and there's something beneath it when it disappears, I end up bring that up too like when I right click on a link a click left click "open in a new tab", if that option is beneath the link, a new tab is opened and the current tab is opened with the link. When I close a tab, I end up closing two tabs. When there are only two tabs and I close one, it closes the whole browser. I don't want any of that. When all I want to do is highlight an icon, I end up activating it. Sometimes, I can never drag and drop anymore.

Yes, I've tried fiddling with the mouse options, but that didn't work.

And just when I posted this, it tried to post it twice giving me the you cannot post more than one thread so soon error.

This usually indicates that your mouse needs to either be cleaned or replaced.

Is it an optical mouse or does it have a roller-ball in the bottom?

You'll need to replace the switches in the mice. Depends on how expensive your mouse is to whether its worth replacing or not.
