Solve : Double Action Single Clicking Mouse?

1.	Solve : Double Action Single Clicking Mouse?
Answer» When I single click my left mouse key, it does a double action. For instance if I'm playing solitaire it will cause two rows of cards to deal instead of one, and if I want to move a card it will highlight and unhighlight it. If I try to open a folder, it goes right through to opening the nearest file that appears on the next screen - I have other examples of double actions for a single click. I've lowered my computer's mouse control setting to slowest, but that didn't affect it in the least. The packaging didn't actually have a Microsoft compatible logo on it, but it picked up and installed the mouse's software as soon as I first plugged the mouse in. Any suggestions?Try another mouse.Quote from: Broni on December 15, 2008, 07:12:32 PM Try another mouse. But my mouse is an exceptionally cute Pylones mouse. It's aqua blue with gold fishies on it, and the matching mousepad is aqua blue with ocean waves on it. I don't want another mouse! I want this one to work!

Absolutely adorable! I just LOVE that paint job! I've always wanted a mouse that is nothing more than a glamourized piece of plastic that came straight out of a Chinese low-wage labour factory where mums work 18 hours a day and come home being forced to feed their children contaminated milk because they can't afford cow milk and are too stressed to produce it themselves. Milk, that is. Not cow milk. I don't think Chinese women produce cow milk. Ever thought about the kind of paint they spray on those things? I doubt they adhere to any standards set by health committees. But then again, who NEEDS health committees? It's a mouse that looks like a frog! I WANT ONE!

I know what you mean- but they weren't revolutions per se- revolution pretty much means overthrowing the government by force. The fact is, though; Canada, U.S, U.K, and so forth, are democracies, and are (debatably) controlled by the people by the manner of a representative government. As such, people's concerned are addressed when they become an issue; without happy people, the governments will go out of power during the next election (U.S) or vote of non-confidence (Canada- not sure about U.K). China, on the other hand, is a DICTATORSHIP. Since the dictator has control in this situation, the only requirement of them is to keep the people thinking they are happy.

No radical change in the government was established to give the western countries what we have; in fact, we've taken them for granted essentially since our constitutions/Bill of rights were written; but they did constitute a change in the way of thinking as far as human rights were concerned, so I guess it would fall under that.
