Here's a weird problem: You perform actions with mouse, i.e., move the pointer to some hypertext and your system erratically performs as if the mouse does a left-click on its owns. For example, I have a dictionary on my system and to look up a word I simply double-click the left mouse. Well, I started to see definitions appear without doing so! Another example, I do a click on something, like a file, and it acts as though I double-click. Now the worse scenario so far was I ordered something, thankfully not anything of value (only a free book from Kelloggs rewards which should have taken one of my 2 credits) and it double-clicked and ordered the same book twice. You never see it happen its so fast.
Anyway, my first inclination was to power off, reset the mouse. I chose right. I removed the battery from the mouse and after 1 minute reinstalled it. It cleared up everything. Gotta love guessing right. I may have achieved the same result by disabling mouse and restarting. But, removing a battery was so much easier. It seemed like a hardware error, but most likely the power off/on sequence reinitialized it.
