(SPAM TRAP: disassimilate to reply) I've just purchased Microsoft Wireless Desktop sets for several machines and am experiencing odd problems with the mouse click (left button). When I tap or press and release the button it seems to be doing a hold/select rather than releasing to perform a "click". For example, if I click in a field then move the mouse the text between the pointer and the place clicked is highlighted and when clicking hyperlinks on web pages in IE nothing happens until I either click again or move the mouse pointer, both of which seem to suggest the button is somehow being "held down". I'm having this problem with four separate Wireless Desktop sets, each connected to different models of PC, three running Windows 2000 SP2 one with SP4. Tried using the standard MS W2K mouse drivers and the bundled Intellipoint software and problem is present with both. Also seem to make no different whether the RF receiver is plugged into the USB port or using PS/2 connectors. It seems like a "feature" rather than a fault with any of those but it's bl**dy annoying! A "normal" wired Compaq (re-branded Logitech) mouse plugged into the same PCs does not suffer the same problem. Can anyone shed any light on it? -- >iv< Paul >iv<
