Today I realized that my mouse is doing something weird when I right click. Right clicking with the mouse opens a box like usual, but it opens a box and closes it again many TIMES very fast. It looks like the box flashes 4 or 5 times before staying open. It's as if I right clicked MULTIPLE times. But my mouse doesn't always do this. 90% of the time it will do that but sometimes it opens the box just like normal. I tested it by right clicking the icons on my DESKTOP and noticed that it always does multiple "clicks" when the box appears upward and rarely when the box appears downward. I uninstalled the mouse drivers, restarted the computer and reinstalled the drivers but this had no change. I don't KNOW when this started, I only realized what it was doing today. Any help is much appreciated.

[recovering space - attachment deleted by admin]Try mouse on another computer, or try another mouse on this computer.I had a mouse that did that. The little switches under the buttons lead a hard life, and can suffer from contact bounce. If swapping the mouse buttons in Control Panel makes the problem change sides, that would indicate getting a new mouse.
