having problems clicking on things

[Guest]

some of the problems i have had. When i have clicked on something in a drop
down box it will select whats on the page underneath. I have clicked the
back button on IE and it goes back twice, i have played games and it selects
more than one thing on the screen, when selecting tick boxes it wont select
until after a few tries. This is very annoying as its takes me ages to get
anything done. I would appreciate any help and advice on whats causing this
and how to remedy it.

First thing to do is clean the mouse. Turn it upside down and slide the
cover so the ball comes out. Blow out dust inside and clean the ball with a
soft cloth. This is a very simple solution and fixes many problems such as
yours.

Sorry. I assumed you had a regular mouse since you didn't specify.

Try a different mouse. If the problems go away, you can try cleaning
your optical mouse, experiment with changing the mousing surface, or
simply replace the mouse with one that works. If this is a wireless
optical mouse, try replacing the batteries.
