Mouse acting like a crazy person :|
Hey guys. I'm a little confused. I got to my machine this morning and my mouse is acting nuts. Double Clicks do nothing, so I can't open a folder without [right click -> Explore], and when I click [Start -> Computer] it opens up two explorer windows. Any idea what's causing this?
That guy that used to mod cases. Now I take photos. True story.

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

Every time I've ever seen anything remotely like this (though it's never been entirely the same) it's always come down to a malware issue. Perhaps you picked up a trojan somewhere? Have you scanned for malware?

- Reinstalling drivers,
- Unplugging and replugging it (hey, you never know),
- Borrow someone else's mouse and see if it does the same thing.
- (EDIT) I wouldn't rule out Stu's idea about it being malware either.

Re: Mouse acting like a crazy person :|
Have you added another device to your pc lately? (in the usb port) I had two mice plugged in (don't bother asking why - I won't tell) - and the one made the other float to the right. It was really weird.
Unplugged the second and the first worked perfectly.
