What do you call a button?
What is it, where is it located, etc...?

You might have loaded some driver or tool for your mouse that you could
have possibly configured to cause a double click.
IIRC there are places in windows that allow for 'single click activates'
meaning it forgoes the double click.
I guess in a odd way (odd to me) you might have done all that. But
windows is basically a 2 click systems except for hyperlinks and the
quick launch tool bar.

One place I notice it a lot is when you click a web page video to play it. That
seems to happen every time.

Other times it just seems to be Flash pages. Give it a good solid click and
nothing happens. Do it again and it works.

I'b been watching for focus issues, but that isn't the problem.

Like I said, 3 different PC's. 2 desktops and a laptop, all fifferent makes.
