| 63965 | 2002-07-21 02:11:00 | Whenever i click the left button on my mouse i get the right click menu, however when i click the right button also get the right click menu. I can fix this by randomly right clicking all over my screen. Is this a problem with my mouse or my OS, computer etc? This is a real annyoance as it happens nearly every 10-15mins or so. I think it may be a problem with the video card drivers...but updating them IS NOT an option....dont ask. My card is fairly new anyway. Windows 98 Intel Celeron 433MHz 192meg RAM 3d prophet 4000XT |

| 63967 | 2002-07-21 02:21:00 | it could be a loose conection in the mouse,but it could also be the way the mouse has been setup and how it has been configured. go to control panel and go to the "mouse" folder and check the properties of ur mouse like how often u have to click the mouse to open files and the sensitivity test. hope that helped. cheers, v.K-------- :D |

| 63968 | 2002-07-21 02:44:00 | It happens occasionally on my current machine (only in windows), my old machine (win95), and a lot of other machines I've used, it doesn't seem to be related to the mouse, my guess is its a windows bug. Although I've never heard of it happening that frequently. |

Have you used the SAME mouse on all these machines?? If so, try a new mouse. They DO wear out! It sounds a bit like there could be a faulty wire. |

| 63970 | 2002-07-21 09:01:00 | Mouses that are used a lot tend to get frayed wires at the mouse end. If one wire it touching another, this can cause problems such as you describe. Remedy: get another mouse. Since you describe the problem as being persistent across machines, I would say that either youhave the wrong driver installed on all machines or it is the problem described above. If you're handy with a soldering iron, you can pull the mouse to bits and look for a short circuit. |
