Not the end of the world, but recently if I get a page of Google results and click on one say, or click back a page it takes two clicks for it to work. Any ideas? Ta.

Is it just IE? Does it do it in, say, Firefox, or elsewhere in Windows?

Just seems to be IE - don't use FF though. Everything else in Windows seems fine.

Hm. Odd.

Is your mouse faulty? (-:

You've tried just rebooting, presumably?

Latest version of IE? I vaguely remember IE7 having some sort of double-click bug, can't remember details.

I had this problem a few years back, I have no idea how I fixed it. 😕

You could try resetting IE's options to default I guess. Tools / Internet Options / Advanced. Shot in the dark though, I'm not aware of a setting that does it (though there used to be a setting in Explorer for toggling single / double click).

Using IE?

That's where you've gone wrong then.

http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

or

https://www.google.com/chrome

Both should fix it, plus all the other problems with IE. Try not to think of me as a hero.
