Hello,
I bought my parents a Microsoft Wireless Mouse for x-mas, which they like so far. However, the double-click 'part' of the mouse does NOT work. For instance, double clicking on the E on the desktop (to launch Internet Explorer) does nothing! My mom also tells me she Used to be able to "just double-click on an Excel or Word file and it would open up". Now she has to highlite the file name and then click the Open button. What's up with this Mouse? I've gone to: Start > Settings > Control Panel > Mouse in Mouse, it has 3 tabs, which are Buttons - Pointer - Pointer Options Buttons: Button Configuration, Double Click Speed & Click Lock Pointer: different Types of pointers Pointer Options: Speed, Snap To & Visibility |

Couple of things... you can adjust the click speed... so that you have to double click really fast or can double click slower to activate
Check Right hand vs. left hand Make sure you have the correct driver installed Assuming you have Windows XP Start - Control Panel - Mouse Choose the Buttons Tab First box should be unchecked (swap buttons) Drag double click to slow (all the way to left). You can test by clicking folder to the left Click Lock should be unchecked. |
