Right click hell

[eastern wiseguy]

Folks


For some reason my computer has taken to refusing to run any program unless I select it with a right click and a deselect of a tick in the Run As box which appears.

Does anyone have a solution to this "tick" problem.

Running Windows XP home.

Oh ...it won't let me System Restore either.

Grateful for your input

looked in control panel

at the mouse settings ? Is it a fancy mouse with fancy drivers ?

Have you tried selecting the program and hitting Enter?

I reckon it's a double click problem as per the previous poster. You can slow down double click required speed if necessary in the control panel.

Hi Guys


Thanks for the replies.

I am not sure it is a mouse problem. When I try to open a program I am told there I have to create an association in control panel. The way around it is to right click on the icon and I am then given an option to remove a tick from a box. The program then runs.......does anyone know how to remove the ticked box option?

Oh and when I try to access control panel I get the no program associated malarkey and also no access to system restore......

Thanks
