Something wrong with my mouse?

I have a Mx700 which is about a year old and recently its been acting up. When I want to click on something, sometimes it'll double click on the icon even though I only clicked the mouse once. Its frustrating as I often have multiple browers open and when I want to close one, the damn mouse will send the signal to windows to double click and so I close two windows instead of one.

Is it possible that some yahoo changed a mouse setting on you or a windwoes setting. There is a Windwoes setting that can be changed so that when you mouse over an object, it will be selected and a single click will do what a double-click used to. I think it's in the Usability settings for the differently abled. I prefer to set one of my otherwise unused mouse buttons to the double-click function rather than change the Win setting.

Wouldn't that setting be obvious? Aka, icons are underlined, and they get highlighted when you click on them?

The setting isa not really that obvious. Easy to change or check - Control Panel, Folder Options, and the bottom set of checkboxes controls that.

I have always had my mouse set for single click ever since Win95. Why click twice when once will do?

Logitech kicks so much ass!

I just phoned them and they agreed to replace my mx700 with a mx1000 without having to send in my mx700!
