My mouse is double click

Windows XP Home Edition / SP3 / Google Chrome.  I'm having a problem with my mouse. My settings are set to my left click button, but when I click it, double-click it. If I type an address in the URL search bar, and I want to click with the mouse to place the cursor in a certain place, it is highlighting a word or all words in blue, as if I wanted to copy. So, if I want to copy and paste, I press the button down to copy, it shows the blue highlight, but when I reach the end of what I want to copy, when I release the button, the blue highlighting disappears. Or if I want to copy the 3 words at the beginning of a paragraph, when I drag the slider, it highlights the entire paragraph.  I tried it with a different mouse and the same thing happens. If I click on a link, 2 new tabs open. If I click to open a new tab, 2 tabs open. I can't tell if it's a problem of Windows or Google Chrome.

Have you tried uninstalling both and reboot the machine

Also, what kind of mouse do you use? What is a mouse PS2 (mouse standard 6-pin) or use a USB mouse. ?

    How can I configure my computer to the simple click with the mouse to double-click to open an item on the desktop instead

    Hi placebow,

    Open the Options folder by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, and then clicking Folder Options. On the general tab, click single-click to open an item. (To return to the standard click, click double-click to open an item.)

    The setting applies not only at the office, but also in other areas of the shell.

  • Mouse problems: double clicks, no answer on a touch,.

    HP PS2 optical mouse on my HP Pavilion a6547c desktop computer started acting erratic.  Sometimes, it works very well, but more often then not, this does not work properly.  Most of the problems occur then that on internet (Firefox) and in a forum.  When you try to move to the next page, is not always detect the click on the symbol of the page next or page number.  When you try to go back, using the arrow at the top of Firefox, it will sometimes jump back two pages.  When you try to close a window with the X in upper-right, it will occasionally close the window, I was on that and the following on-screen.

    I went into Control Panel and deleted the mouse driver.  After a reboot, I got the system and reinstall the driver for the mouse.  Still no change.

    System specs are:

    Operating system: MS Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - bit SP2

    CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X 2 65nm technology Brisbane 5000 +.

    You can test your computer use another mouse? From what you describe, it seems quite possible that the mouse is just. You can pick up a decent optical mouse for $10-15 of: just about anywhere. Or maybe borrow one from a friend if you want to test and make sure that it has solved the problem before you buy.

    I realize a hardware problem of mouse does not explain why problems occur more often in Firefox/forums, but it's a good thing to rule out anyway.

  • Can I put a double click my mouse from Apple?

    Over the years, I've used many third-party mouse, but now in part because of problems of drivers with this mouse, I would give the Apple mouse that I got with my newish iMac to try. But I'm really used to having the number of right mouse button double click. Double click clicking once with my middle finger greatly relieves the pressure on my arthritic fingers. Is there a way to set the secondary click as a double click on the mouse from Apple? (I'm used to use Ctrl-click to join the context menus, so I do not have the usual setting right click on the mouse).

    Thank you

    Rob

    You can take a look at BetterTouchTool. If you are using a wired Apple mouse you can set, for example, Middle-click as a double click. To do this, a whole lot more of course. Right now it's still free, but its change to a sort of pay what you want plan. I did not read all of this.

    There is undoubtedly a way to write a small script you could start with double click of the mouse, but it's something that I personally never did.

  • Extremely frustrating mouse double click when you use the docking station?

    I have a mobile workstation 15 zbook and love it.  I have a docking station at work and even from one station to the House.

    When I plug the docking to the mouse House will be double-click whenever I have one click.  Simple click, I have to quickly move out of the object or it clicks double in each time.   I tried a new mouse, to reduce the speed of double click and is NOT the case on my docking station at work or when the laptop computer use with the mouse connected locally.

    It of extremely frustrating and makes working at home a pain rather than productive.

    You ask if anyone has seen elsewhere, or have any suggestions?

    Hello @romatlo,

    I read your post about how how your laptop will be double-click everything you click once when it is attached to your docking station, and I would be happy to guide you to a resolution!

  • My mouse double click sometimes, and sometimes don't register the click.

    I slam my finger down on the left click and it clicks then, otherwise not.
    Sometimes it will be a single click-double-click.
    Only occurs with a left click, right click is perfect.
    I checked the parameters of double click in the mouse settings.
    I reinstalled software for my Logitech LX7 optical mouse several times. Updated, nothing.
    He did this for about 3 months, then stopped for 2-3 weeks and returned as of today.
    The only thing I can think of that I did differently, was that I was not playing a video game in windowed mode. (w to find target) I played it in windowed mode for the first time for several weeks and now she's back. I stopped to play in windowed mode, and he has not disappeared.
    I reinstalled the driver for my mouse several times. Unplugged, he moved to a different usb port.
    It is not my mouse because she does it with my mouse trackball of factory too.

    I bought a new mouse. Problem solved.

  • Mouse problems. Double click to open things does not. Click to create a link in IE also does not work.

    When something can be simple click it to open it, it works. If there must be double clicked and then it doesn't. Also, the links in Internet Explorer work by clicking with the mouse. Am so frustrated. Tried every difficulty that I could find on the web & does not. Use a different mouse, reinstalled the drivers, nothing. Switched left button to be single click to open in settings - did not work. Have to use Tab to navigate something, so it is highlighted. Press "enter" and then it opens if this is the main screen, in a folder or in IE. Help... Please! Thank you.

    Leiden,

    In my view, there was a point he was working again properly. I suggest to do a System Restore and see if it helps
    See you soon ~!
