Weird mouse(computer mouse, not animal) problem

Whenever I click the left button on my mouse it registers as a double click on my computer.

Also, if I'm trying to drag a selection somewhere it "unclicks" even though I'm not letting go of the button.

I'm hoping this is a problem with my computer rather then my mouse.

I can probably fix it if its a computer issue, but I can't afford a new mouse.

Any ideas?

how odd :s lol... i take it youve looked at the mouse options in the control panel? if not that might be a start..

failing that you might have some grit or something caught inside the mouse, i had that when i used to use a trackerball mouse.. the right button would jam or not press.. mice are pretty easy to take apart and dont really have too many fiddly bits inside, if the control panel doesnt offer any help, give cleaning the mouse out a go :)

hope that helps some Original Sin ^^

Could be the drivers too, they sometimes just go odd for no reason, be a good idea just to try updating them.

Although before you do update your drivers, its best to make sure system restore is all working, as I just found out that updating drivers can mess you computer round, big time!!
