I had a similar (or maybe the same) problem a couple of weeks ago. When I
held the button down it was acting like I was clicking several times. If I
tried to highlight a whole line it would only highlight several letters, as
if I let go of the button. Also, if I clicked an icon, it would act like I
clicked many times on it. I noticed some gunk in the crevice between the
button that looked like someone spilled some liquid on the mouse, so I took
the whole thing apart and cleaned everything out as best I could with a
Q-tip. There was also several very fine fabric strings (finer than hair)
that were in the area where the laser points out. It wasn't 100% at first,
but much better. Then after a few days of use it feels pretty much as good
as new now. I would like to point out that you have to take it apart very
carefully and make sure you put everything back together the same way. I'm
very good with this kind of stuff, but the first time I put mime back
together I didn't have a spring in the right way so it wasn't working right.
Three of the screws were under stickers on the bottom of my mouse. BTW,
mine is an old Logitech MX510. Geesh, this sucker must be at least 6 or 8
years old. ;)

lol
this is driving me nuts. I'm set to single click to open files, so I just
have to hover (or whatever you call it) to select most of them, then 1 click
to open, but for a couple of weeks now, it's like my mouse is extremely
sensitive. I normally have to click once on an email to select it, then
double click on it to open it, but now I just barely click the first time on
the email and bam.......it's open and when I click on "delete" in OE's menu
bar, it deletes 2 emails! grrrrrrrr. And if I'm not fast enough when trying
to save a graphic or file, I'll accidentally select another file that the
cursor just happens to land on.............I have no idea what made this
start happening. I just went into my control panel and slowed down the
mouse, but that doesn't seem to have made a difference. Any ideas?
Oh yeah, also I'll have an email open that I want to reply to and I hit
reply and the next thing I know it's closes up instead of switching to the
reply mode. This doesn't happen everytime, but enough to drive me nuts
(which by the way doesn't take a lot).
Happy Easter/Passover to everyone that observes,
sandy
