If you are talking about a single click then it is probably the switch on
the mouse. Have you tried a different mouse?

If it's not the double-click speed setting in the control panel, i
could be that your mouse itself is broken. Try swapping in
different mouse (if possible) and seeing if that fixes it, if not
then try checking mouse drivers. Most likely it's a malfunctionin
mouse though

Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 4.0A USB /PS2 Compatible
p/n X800495-119 PID 70000 – OEM – 0433121-0 0603

I have a couple people with the same mice having the same problem. Their
left mouse clicking is “not workingâ€. It might be broken. I took the usb
mouse and plugged it into another "known good" computer that has NEVER had
this mouse before. I have currently a Microsoft Optical USB / PS2 mouse in
it, with USB. I was able to get the “OTHER PC†mouse to replicate the
problems. I need to click and hold for one Miss-iss-ipp-I and then it will
work. It is almost a full second to click instead of BAM, double click. I
updated to the latest x64 bit drivers for Microsoft Mouse, 6.2 I believe and
restarted. I am on a Windows XP x64 Pro SP2 (all updates) I reset all mouse
features to DEFAULT. I also removed the mouse and plugged in another mouse,
we purchased a bunch of these Optical mice and tried a known good one, and NO
PROBLEM with the left mouse clicking.
Strange, as I am able to get the curser to move within this paragraph but
not select. I do though have to press and HOLD down a for a full
one-one-thousand and then it will click. If I just click and go, it doesn’t
work. It is the type of clicking when you are going slow and being sure that
the mouse has moved to a location. I can not get it to double click by going
SLOW or going EXTREMELY fast. I tried to put the mouse like a trigger and
get it to open that way, by pressing extremely fast to get the “My Computerâ€
icon on my desktop to open, but I could not get that to work. OK I just
tried it and it did work, after I was extremely aggressive in clicking fast
on it.

I THINK I might need to buy a new mouse, but I have adjusted and downloaded,
as I said, the latest Mouse software and still no luck. I have some new mice
on order.

Are the mice connected to a USB port/socket ? I'm seeing more &
more cases of an overloaded USB Controller that causes clicks and
motion delays. Most USB mice are USB1.1 so they are sensitive to
which Controller/Hub they are served by. If the mouse plug has a
PS2 converter module, I'd try using the Mouse on the PS2 port instead
of USB. I'd also use the Mouse applet in Control Panel to lower the
registration speed for detecting mouse clicks. The option is found on
the Buttons (TAB) of mouse properties, "Double-Click Speed". Try
moving the sensitivity slider slightly to the Left <--.

Cordless mouse? Did you try changing battery? Did you reposition receiver?
(part that plugs into USB)

My mouse is not working at all. I had some other problems with my computer,
and believe it may not be seeing the (USB?) port, but don't know for sure,
and don't know how to find out.

Exactly what other problems? What's the state of those problems? If
they were resolved, exactly what did you do to resolve them?

When did the mouse fail? What did you do just before that?

The first thing to check is that the mouse is securely plugged in. If
that's OK, the next thing I would try is borrowing another mouse from
a friend and seeing if that works.

I would try a different mouse, preferably in Safe Mode.

Sorry, missing word. That should be "...from that one."

In the
future, if you want to post message her in one of these newsgroups,



And that should be "...post such a message here..."

Sorry for the typos.

If wireless, I'd check the batteries first.
If not, I'd contact mouse vendor.
If no joy, I'd replace it. Mice are cheap.

I'm new at this, and am sorry if I posted incorrectly. I clicked "new," and
typed my question where it put me. It is also a little difficult without a
"point and click" device. I can't even get to some places, like the up &
down arrows and scroll bar. I had to start a reply just to read your whole
post. Anyway, thank you.

As for "what other problems," first the ethernet card wasn't being
recognized, then the computer wouldn't open Windows at all just a DOS type
screen. I used "DEL to enter setup" then went through where I could and set
a lot of things to "fail safe defaults" should have taken better notes, but
got too tired...careless. Something worked, but the mouse never did come
back on. I believe the problems started when granddaughter clicked on/off
several times.

You're welcome. Glad to help.

The reason you're having such problems is that you are using the awful
web interface to read this newsgroup--it's the slowest, clunkiest,
most error-prone method there is. Do yourself a favor and switch to a
newsreader, such as Outlook Express, which comes with Windows. See
http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/outlookexpressnewreader.htm

Thanks for the extra info. Did you try the two suggestions I made? If
you can't find someone to borrow a mouse from, let me point out that
most mice are very cheap, and if I were in your shoes, I'd just buy a
new one.

Use DEL and get into BIOS again. Go looking for entries about USB. Probably
find one for Legacy USB.

Each BIOS is different so read carefully when you are in there.
