Mouse single click acts like double click

[M Skabialka]

My mouse has randomly decided that a single click is as good as a double
click. If I click something to highlight it, it does the double click
action, e.g. opens an email instead of highlighting it so I can move it. In
the Mouse icon on the Control Panel I have slowed the double-click speed to
the slowest but it still happens. Sometimes it even performs the action
twice, so a double click means open it, then open it again.

Where else is there a control for what the mouse does for click and double
click?

Thanks,
Mich

Perhaps the switch in your mouse is bad and is breaking the circuit
briefly and then making it again.

The mouse is less than six months old. I have also gone into Folder Options
and ensures that single and double click do what I want. I will try another
mouse...

Guess what - bad mouse! I wouldn't have thought one could fail so quickly!
Thanks for the suggestion!
