Double-Clicking the Mouse Does Not Work in Windows

ID: Q121155


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft IntelliPoint software version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

Inside Microsoft Windows, double-clicking your mouse does not work correctly, although the single click does work as expected. Adjusting the double-click speed has no effect.


CAUSE

This problem occurs when the following lines are set to either zero (0) or a letter (for example, x):


   [Windows]
   doubleclickheight=
   doubleclickwidth= 


RESOLUTION

  1. Open the WIN.INI file and search for the following lines:

    doubleclickheight=
    doubleclickwidth=


  2. Change the values to a valid number (for example, 5 or 10).
