It's ps2. I wouldn't be surprised if something physical happened to it as my son has knocked my pc over on more than one occasion. He seems to think it's his own personal jungle gym..

There should be screws to take the bottom off (Mine has 4 screws on the bottom)

I checked the cable and it seems to be okay.

I do see a screw in the bottom. Can't believe I didn't notice it before.

I'll try to clean it after classes today post back. Thanks

Update: I haven't taken it apart yet because the double-clicking seems to have magically stopped. I am going to wait till it does it again before I mess with it.

Had exactly the same problem yesterday & this morning: mouse consistently clicked 2x every time I tried to click one time only (gets really irritating.)

After reading these posts, I went ahead and switched to another mouse (luckily my hubby just happens to have a few extra lying around.)

VoilĂ  - no more problem.

So - I guess it's a hardware thing. I'm still curious as to what causes this, though. If any brainiac type would like to give an explanation or post a link to details, it will be appreciated. I'm sure we're not the only onces with this problem.

If it makes any difference: it's a usb mouse, optical, from Dell, says "M/N: M-UVDEL1" ("M/N"=model number?) underneath.

In the meantime, I'll keep looking around the net for a clue.

:o)

Have a great day!
