problem with my mouse

Hello,

I had a problem with my mouse the other day, which I posted here. I have since received a solution to it, but there are still remnants of the problem that are bugging me.

It has something to do with Expose. My mouse makes a clicking sound. It's almost as though it's super sensitive to the slightest squeezes. I don't INTENTIONALLY do anything to my mouse to bring it on, so it must be a reaction to very subtle movements of my finger or hand.

Anyway, the current problem I'm having is that it's interfering with my work. For example, I had some text highlighted the other day, and then the mouse started doing its clicking thing, and all of a sudden I have a whole different area of text highlighted. It's as if whatever I'm doing to cause the clicking sound is functioning like I pressed the mouse button.

Is there any way to stop the mouse from making that clicking sound or whatever it's doing that the clicking sound is a symptom of? I looked in Expose and couldn't find anything that might relate to that. Any help would be much appreciated.

As I mentioned to you in your other thread; you have your mouse set to react to squeezing the sides. You can disable this in the mouse preferences. I suggest you do so.

PS. You may also have your scroll wheel (if you have one) set to "click" as well. If that is the case, disable that also.

Thanks chas,

I'm not sure if I solved the problem. I went into Keyboard & Mouse in System Preferences and changed the side buttons to 'off'. This didn't stop the clicking sound, but so far I haven't experienced it interfering in my work. I'll have to work with it a while before I can be sure.

If you have any further suggestions, they would be much appreciated.
