Click on the mouse does not open some items on my desktop.

On the desktop of my laptop, double click will not open one of the icons.  To open my HOTMAIL (for example), I have to go down to the Explorer icon and type in HOTMAIL.COM. This is just one example.  I may need a new mouse?  Or a new battery for my mouse?  Thank you!  Kay

Double click will not open one of the icons.

See what you can do with right click instead?

  • Satellite C660 - click of the mouse does not work

    Hello

    I bought this laptop 5 weeks ago and now have problems with the right, click on the mouse does not work. Left click sometimes opens to the left, click on functions and leaves me is impossible to close programs or closed, double clicking in the pavement or enter does not work also.

    I tried to do a system restore to the factory, but I can not click on the next to take me through the restoration and end up having to close it via the main power switch.

    Any ideas please?

    Hello

    You have the same problems with a mouse external or just the touchpad?

    If an external mouse works correctly, you can use it to do a recovery install. This can help you to solve the problem, if this just s software.

    Not least have last but you tried to update the driver for the touchpad? You can find it on the official website of Toshiba:

  • Click of the mouse does not

    I recently bought a computer laptop sony vaio E15136 nine. The mouse was used to work much earlier, but now, the click of the mouse does not work in some parts of the screen. And the problem is not specific program. The click of the mouse does not work in this part of the screen for all programs. It does not in the upper left corner of the screen. He has no problem moving the cursor in this part, only clicking.

    aiyazkhan:

    Strange.  Have you tried a mouse USB or WiFi?  The same thing happens?  Also, have you tried to uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall the driver from the touchpad on the site of support for your model: http://www.sony.co.in/support/product/SVE15136CN

    Please install all software updates/patches, then reboot and recheck the touchpad function.

  • Left click of the mouse does not respond in the office and I could see 2 together (Picture) Office

    Everything works well today that the left click of the mouse is not responding on the desktop (icons does not meet the double click). Right click works ok, and left click works well on programs and in the taskbar.

    Weird things here, it's that I can see two desktop at the same time.

    I have attached a picture.

    Can someone help me?

    Thanks in advance.

    I got disabling the system restore, so I can't go back to a good version.

    Turn off the system restore makes things much more difficult. Your problem is probably due to an inappropriate registry setting. You can restore your registry files manually to a previous point through the steps described below. The process is complex and requires some careful typing. Ask a computer-savvy friend to help you if you lack experience in this field. You may reset your password to an earlier value.

    Check the date of the file C:\Windows\System32\config\regback\System. It precedes the date when you became aware of your problem? If so, follow these steps:

    1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.

    2. Select repair in the menu that looks like this.

    3 log in as administrator if you are prompted.

    4. Select repair when prompted.

    5. Select the command line in the menu that looks like this.

    6. identify the correct drive letter for your Windows installation. It could be one drive other than c, but it will not X:. You do this by typing commands
    DIR C:\Win*
    Dir D:\Win*
    dir E:\Win*
    until you find the Windows folder.
    I'll call this "Q:" drive
    7 type these commands exactly:
    CD /d Q:\windows\System32\config
    xcopy *. * Q:\MyRegBack\
    CD RegBack
    8 type these commands:
    copy software / y...
    /y copy system...
    /y copy Sam...
    (the two points are part of each order)
    10. restart normally. If things don't work then you can go back by copying files from the original register of Q:\MyRegBack to Q:\Windows\System32\config.

  • By clicking on the link does not open new tab

    By clicking on a link in an e-mail message (MAC Mail) open FF and directly to the page, if Firefox is closed. Fine.
    However, if FF is already running, by clicking on the link only FF put in the foreground, but does not open a new tab, or the link fills in the current window tab. The only way to make it work is to right click to get the 'Quick Look' URL, and then open this page.

    This is happening to me, same, on Mac OS X 10.6.8 but only since I've upgraded to the latest version of Firefox, 32.0.1. I can click on a HTTP link in another application and Firefox becomes the active application, but it will not load a new tab for the link, as expected. Instead, it just sits there. I have to go back to the other application and click on the link a second time, during which point Firefox correctly open a new tab and load the destination URL.

  • Firefox 8.0.1 - right click of the mouse does not work and the menus at the top are not working. They sparkle and sometimes remain visible, but most of the time they cannot be seen.

    When I right click of the mouse on a link of the menu sparkles and especially is not visible. When I select the top menu bar, the menu selections twinkle and especially are not visible. It makes the browser unusable. This is a serious bug.

  • Click on the mouse does not work

    I'm on an iMac ca 2008 and the mouse cursor moves on the screen, but clicking on does not work. No action in any application. Will not open files, no command is executed. Initially, it was casual, but happened to be the worst, now it is complete, start at the stop. At the start (in El Capitan), the mouse moves the cursor, but there is no answer to the click. I went through the first aid standard attempts-trash finder prefs, reset the NVRAM, reset the SMC - no change.  Elsewhere in the forums, the problem is attributed to the El Capitan, or if no GPU. BIOS problem? It seems to be a hardware problem, but I'm no judge of that. Any suggestions?

    You probably need a new mouse.

  • Clicks of the mouse does not

    My problem is that my mouse stops working after a few minutes in a certain way. Usually, the main program that I will be ok, but I can't click anything on the bar in the toolbar at the bottom. Even if I move my pointer over the icons on the taskbar, labels will not come to the top and if I click on it nothing happens. If I reduce the program I'm working on, if I then click on the sound icon the the bottom bar, it will not return. Very often I also can't click on other items on the desktop either.

    To get out of this loop, I make Ctrl + Alt + Delete. When the screen comes up and I click on Task Manager, there is always a delay between clicking on it and openness. This delay is sometimes several seconds.

    It takes a few minutes for this effect to kick. He also got to the point where the screen saver will not illuminate after time has passed and now sometimes the program that I am working on lock, particularly when starting it.

    It started yesterday.

    I did a system restore, by choosing a point at the beginning of the month. It did not help so I came home settings. My antivirus software is up-to-date and the analyses showed no infection. Anti-spyware programs have also developed own.

  • Re: The right click of the mouse does not work on the Satellite L450 - 18 d

    My laptop is about 2-3 months and today just as the right click button stopped working completely.
    I did a system restore with still no luck.

    Any ideas?

    > the right click button completely stopped working. I did a system restore with still no luck. Any ideas?

    It can be hardware junk... Perform a recovery with a recovery disk procedure to make sure that is not os/driver associated. Otherwise, contact the service centre in your country, it will fix it for free under warranty

    Hello

    You can view the configuration in the Control Panel, mouse.

    However, if the rest of the mouse does not work, it is probably time for a new mouse. For example, right-click switch does no more work.
