Question: Computer mouse problem, help? Everytime I click on something once [like Internet Explorer in the Start menu or folders in my desktop] a new menu opens up with the 'open, run as...' options.  How do I make this stop? [I use the left clicker to open things, etc].

Answer: A menu like that pops up when you click the RIGHT button under normal circumstances.  What happens when you click the button on the right side?  Does your icon turn blue?  If you double-click the right button, does IE open up?\n\nIf so, you can fix this by going into your computer's Control Panel. Click on START and Control Panel should be on the right-hand side of the menu (if not, click on START using the other mouse button).\n\nFrom here, it depends on your operating system.  You might see an icon called "mouse", or you might see "printers and other hardware" - if so, click this, and then you'll see one called "mouse".  Double click "mouse".  Move to the "properties" tab if you are not already there.  Then under "button configuration", see if the box before "switch primary and secondary buttons"  is checked.  If it is, uncheck this box, and it should return everything to normal.\n\nIf this doesn't help, I would go to the Website of the company who manufactured your mouse.  They usually have tips for troubleshooting problems like yours.\n\nI hope this helps.  Try it and see.
