Mouse Auto Click

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

I'm having problems with XP mouse settings. It seems whenever I pause to stop
and think while typing the mouse auto clicks wherever it is on the screen,
thereby moving the cursor to that position, and causing problems when you
restart typing. I've searched through the mouse settings on the control panel
but haven't been able to find anything useful. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I would suggest trying another mouse for starters.

I have the same problem and the suggestion to try a different mouse is not
helpful. I see you posted this in January, have you resolved the issue yet?

Are icons underlined like web links?

Yes why does that make any difference?

Turning on double-click did not help.

I too am having trouble with that problem. as I am typing, it stops typing
after about 30-40 seconds. I am continuing to type and nothing is being
typed. Was wondering if there was a timing thing somewhere?
