To eliminate this problem, reduce the double click speed within the Mouse section of the Control Panel.

MORE INFORMATION

If the mouse Double Click Speed setting in the Mouse section of the Windows Control Panel is set to the fastest setting, clicking the mouse button may act like a single click instead of a double click.

To correct this problem, reduce the mouse Double Click Speed.

Steps to change the mouse Double Click Speed:

  1. In the Windows Main group, select the Control Panel icon.
  2. In the Control Panel, choose the Mouse icon.
  3. Use the scroll bar to reduce the mouse Double Click Speed.
Until the mouse Double Click Speed is changed, it may be necessary to use the keyboard. For more information on using Windows keyboard commands, refer to the "Microsoft Windows User's Guide" or Windows online Help.
