computer mouse problems

Posted by Larry Hoover on June 8, 2006, at 7:17:13

I need some advice. Where to look for my problem, hardware or software.

This morning, after boot-up, which seemed to go normally, I went to click on my normal start-ups for the day. My mouse thought that a single left-click was better represented by an infinite series of left-clicks, though. I really did not need 72,000 or whatever instances of Google/web browser open, all at once. Hey, I work up in number during the day, but I don't start that high.

Rebooted.

Problem seemed worse. I couldn't even open my browser, as my system log-in screen flashed on and off so fast that I couldn't even "catch" it.

I couldn't shut down because I couldn't remember the keystrokes that substituted for all the mouse-clicks I usually use. I eventually figured that out, rebooted and did a system restore from the keyboard. Try *that* one, a'ight?

Not sure if that totally fixed it, or not. Not sure if humidity is an issue, and the dang thing just dried out from all the heat it generated loading 72,000 google pages, instead of the restore point switcheroo.

I'll happily just get a new mouse, or whatever, if that's what it is. I'm wondering if a recent software update (Adobe Acrobat) might have messed up my registry?

Computer geeks, I know you're out there. Help me, please? Please? Pretty please with sugar on top?

I was half-way into computer/internet withdrawal. It was not a pretty sight.
