Q

Hey Guys what about my problem with mouse........?

when ever i do single click automatically it takes double click...
example: when i do a single click to select a file, its automatically gets open

2 years old samsung optical mouse

How can i fix this....?

@naveen : Nothing to do. Just get it replaced, if its under warranty else, well replace it

mine also got dead just a week b4 in same condition. Hardware market is going towards cheaper, but cr@p products, thanks to china for its 'great' manufacturing industry.

@qadirahmed : You also dont have much to do, try opening the mouse and cleaning the click sensors. The problem that naveen is having and what are having are two of the biggest problems, specially with usb optical mice, dunno why these happen, but they happen suddenly and i till now have got no success in repairing these. They just die out this way, either by not showing any motion suddenly with everything else working, or the double clicking problem, that becomes unbearable with time and makes the mice virtually useless. Get a new one, thats what i can say.

r u sure u haven't enabled this

There is an option that you can enable - Prevent accidental double clicks

i forgot where i had found it

. if u enable it may sove ir proble

but in all likelyhood it is nearing the end of its life
