nellie2 Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Little fingers were messing with my keyboard when I wasn't looking... now I'm finding that I have to click two or three times on a link or a folder etc to open it or get it to work. I have checked my mouse settings... they seem ok. Anyone got any ideas?It is an optical ps2 mouse that is plugged in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Elf Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Check the mouse settings in Control Panel although I don't think there's any options in there that would be useful.Try a different mouse (or remove the chocolate from under the buttons)Remove it from Device Manager and hope it redetects it when you reboot.Good excuse for a new, powerful computer?

Big Elf Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Age is no excuse, earplugs are useful.Don't have anymore kids?Struggling a bit here with technical solutions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted July 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 I've already checked the mouse settings..... might remove it from device manager and reboot though! Didn't think of that. It is just annoying more than anything! And my spare mouse is lent out to someone and I don't think I will see that again!!! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Elf Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 I can personally deliver a new mouse to you :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted July 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Really??? Gosh... but that is ok, I think it would probably be cheaper for me to get one from a compy fair than what you would spend on petrol getting here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Elf Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Sod the cost :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted July 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Probably not a good idea right now... I'm not in a good mood! The afore mentioned two year old has just presented me with a dirty protest. Scooped out the considerable contents of the night time nappy and spread it everywhere.... :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 I hope you fixed your mouse.... ah hem.....If not, try upgrading drivers. Or, if your using windows XP, rollback the drivers (if you can)Or try system restore, if it's enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
