hello all, first time post, long time reader.
this is a seemingly simple problem, but it's driving me nuts!
this only happens in IE, but whenever i click on a link, or just click on anything in general in IE, my mouse automatically brings up the options list that you usually get when you hold down the command button. this doesn't seem too bad, except for when you click on a link, have to click escape, and then press enter to browse through websites.. but the strange thing is, it's only in IE. any ideas what to do? i've tried to toy with the mouse, disconnecting it and putting it back in, swearing at it, and cursing at IE. what did i do to deserve such a terrible hair puller? i refuse to bang my mouse around like an idiot, there must be a reason why this is happening... can anyone help me out?
...i'm desperate!

First of all, great to have you as a member frisky
What mouse are you using? Is it the Apple Pro mouse? A two button or three button mouse? Did you install the mouse drivers or let the OS just use the default drivers? Also, what OS are you using? OS9? OSX?

I'm using OSX and it's an Apple Pro mouse. I used the default drivers when all was installed. I gave up though with IE, and just installed Opera. :rolleyes: I'm curious to see what made this happen particularly in IE though. Do you guys think that Opera is a good enough browser though? I just made "the switch" last year, and I'm still acclimating to little things here. Better yet, which browser is your particular favorite?
