Mouse problems

Since I've been back here I've developed mouse problems That isn't to say it is related, just a time frame really.

Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Sometimes I have to double click, other times I'm back to single click. I have great difficulty highlighting text for quote/copy purposes.

It is a wireless mouse and I have rebooted the computer, taken the remote "plug" out of the PC, pressed the blue "reset" button on the mouse and even changed the batteries. But, the problem persists.

Any advice would be appreciated. TIA

 

Is it just with GC?

I'm occasionally getting a problem where I'm unable to highlight GC text without closing and re-opening post(s).

And using a tablet the +Quote|Reply box often doesn't appear after highlighting text, once again necessitating closing and re-opening.

 

I find that when you highlight text keep the mouse pointer close to were you finnish the text, sometimes if your to far away from the text you don't get the +Quote/reply box

 

Is it infra red or Bluetooth? I find infra red ones absolutely useless. Bluetooth not so bad.

 

No mouse pointer with touchscreen tablet, different problem with Windows + mouse.

But I'm having highlighting text problems with both Windows and Android.

 

I use peanut butter to sort out any mouse issues

 

I bought my infra red Microsoft Intelli Mouse around 2000. We were golfing in Llandudno and my knee gave in - so hobbling round the town I saw this "new technology" for about £20. Used it constantly since , and its never missed a beat . I presume they do a Windows 10 mouse now which will only work on alternate days ?

 

This is ringing bells, I thought it was my computer! I'm having the same issues with the finger pad and keyboard.

 

For example, text selected but no +Quote|Reply option:

 

@Scrungee - no, note restricted to GC

@clueless1 - infrared

@fat controller - yes, that sounds very familiar!

After posting yesterday trying to find some solution or other my broadband went off
It is very tiresome trying to do anything when it is behaving like this. Hmm, may well be the update then

 

I find infra red ones lose their connection if you do much as lookat them funny. Bizarrely, whenthe signal breaks, they don't always just stop, sometimes the receiver just rapidly repeats the last thing it received.

As for broadband going off, not sure if this would affect you @"M" but BT had a nationwide outage yesterday apparently.
