I have developed problems with my computer (Dell Dimension 4700). I think it's my MOUSE but I'm not sure (FAIRLY new mouse). Every time I move the cursor over anything, it opens up; if I try to highlight anything, it will highlight some of it or all of it or none of it or TOTALLY disappear when I release the button. I work in PageMaker 7.5 to publish a small newpaper. Whenever I try to do anything like hit the T for type set, the box opens up to edit the text size, etc. I try to highlight a story and I will only get part of it or as soon as I release the mouse, the highlight disappears. If I'm on the internet and hit the back button, it will go back twice. If I have two windows open and close one with the X in the corner, they both close. In PageMaker, I can click in the story and the edit story windows opens up. I've tried getting a new mouse (HELPED for a little while), I have reinstalled PageMaker. Nothing seems to help. I'm really not sure what to do next. Any help is MOST appreciated. Thanks.Have you run a virus scan lately... sounds pretty virus-related to me

EDIT: I remember having a mouse once though that malfunctioned and would click randomly... but if you just bought a new mouse then it shouldn't be doing that. If it's a PS/2 mouse did you check for bent pins, etc?Or could it be a wireless mouse ? ?
If so CHANGE the batteries and try another channel.
