Ok, my mouse button is acting weird when I hilight some text for copying/editing,  As I start to hilight the text it unhilights it then starts to hilight from where I left off hilighting, omitting the previous stuff I hilighted.

Is there a registry setting I can change or fix to remedy this problem?

Hahaha, yes, I restart it a lot of times.

Anyways, I found the problem, I had another mouse lying around, the same brand, and it works fine with that mouse.  So I guess the button went flaky on me on the other mouse.  Maybe it needs cleaning?  Its an optical mouse by inland

The mouse is optical.  Its the button that was acting weird, and the strange thing is that I can't open it up.

Hmmmn. What a coincidence! My mouse is acting very wierd too--for a couple of days.  Since I downloaded that "Trog" virus.  I use Rob's computor when I am babysitting the kids.  Anyhow, since that virus, which apparently came with that "Ramadan" message which was discussed earlier. So he tried to delete it--and finally just the day before yesterday, he downloaded a program that was supposed to be a virus protector/deletor, and it said we had 5 viruses! Then he deleted those--however, since then, the mouse has not been working properly, and also wants to highlight and delete text at will! How strange! Is anyone else having this problem? I am  also wondering what to do about it.  It is really interfering with my use of the computor here.  Any ideas?--Sonny
