Mouse Buttons only working while mouse is moving?

Hey all,

I've just bought a Wireless Optical Desktop set (2.0),
and I am very satisfied with it, except for one little
niggle.

Basically what happens is when I click and drag, in any
application at all, everything works fine when the mouse
is moving, but when I stop moving the mouse, it seems to
also stop sending the 'left or right mouse button held
down' signal.

Is there a software fix available for this, or is this
just a faulty mouse?

I have looked all through the knowledge base and can't
find anything even remotely resembling this problem, and
the online No-charge support won't let me enter the PID,
as it's for a Wireless Optical Desktop 2.0, which you
can't actually select from the drop down list on the
previous page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance.

Take a look the setting in Mouse, Properties, Activities, "Click lock".

Maybe it is broken, I suppose that it is possible. Try return and get
another, is all I would try.
