Double Clicking where there was none before.

[Tmuld]

Hello,

I was playing an online game and noticed actions were not working - I
had to double click whereas before I had to single click.

I closed the game and noticed it on my OS. Had to double click links
or apps whereas before I just clicked them once.

Checked my mouse settings - Turn on Clicklock is off.

Sometimes while using Firefox I will notice a circle with a line
through it that is black and ijnstead of the pointer. If I click
again, it turns back to a pointer....

What is going on???

No Virus warnings, no firewall issues....

Thanks,

Tmuld

I think your mouse button is sticking down at times because:

- The double click works because the rapid press/release causes a bounce
and then the next click is seen.

- If you click/drag an icon, highlighted text, etc., over an area you
couldn' normally release the object, you'd see the "no entry" pointer
you describe.

Please try a different mouse as a test.
