I've seen this problem reported here before, but never saw any followup. My SE is < 2 months old, and this problem has recently appeared, and seems to be getting worse. Problem: when I click the mouse, sometmes it sends two (or even more) clicks. E.g., I select a point, but get the whole word, or even the whole line selected; I click in the scroll bar arrow (once), but get continuous scrolling until I move the mouse out of the arrow. Does anyone know what causes the problem, and if there is any simple fix besides asking the dealer to replace the mouse ? When I take my SE in for its memory upgrade (Apple memory), I'll ask the dealer 's repair people what they know of the problem. If I receive enough replies, I'll summarize back to the net. Thanks in advance. Brian Hughes

Since it is <2 months old, it is still under warantee (sp). When you get the new mouse, test it: bring up a dialog box and ssslllooowwwllly (as opposed to merely sslloowwllyy :-) click the mouse on and off where there are no buttons. If you get too many beeps, ask for yet another mouse. Repeat until you get one which works, and then test it again shortly before the warantee expires. There's nothing more useless than a Mac with a broken mouse, unless it's an I.B.M. David Palmer palmer@tybalt.caltech.edu
