Why is my mouse not working correctly?

Question

Sometimes my mouse becomes a little laggy... like, when I try to click on something, the mouse will either not recognize my click, or the computer will react to my click as if I clicked twice, even though I physically only clicked once. When this problem has happened previously, we solved it by clearing up a little more memory or uninstalling programs, but now there is nothing else we can clear up on the computer. Can someone please help me out with this problem? Thank you (:

Answer 1

The problem is probably not your mouse. Your computer is very busy doing something, and missed the interrupt. Update and run your antivirus software just to make sure.

Answer 3

Have you tried a new mouse? I had a mouse to act up similar to yours. You must FIRST rule out the possibility that it is not the mouse. When I changed mouses, the computer worked perfectly.
