Single-click becomes Double-click

Hi,

Lately, there have been recurrent instances where clicking on an item once
(to select it, for instance) has the effect of double-clicking, or opening
the item. Most often (but not exclusively), this has occurred in Outlook
Express, where I often view messages in the preview pane, but the email is
actually opened in a separate window as if I had double-clicked it. It
happens intermittently and I'm wondering if I unintentionally modified a
setting of some sort.

I checked and am using the latest mouse driver (MS Intellimouse 1.1A) so all
seems OK there.

I'm wondering if anyone has ever heard of this behavior and could offer any
advice as to how it could be fixed.

Thanks in advance,
Sarah

Are you sure you have the latest driver?
