Mouse setting that's driving me CRAZY!
« on: March 21, 2026, 01:52:07 PM »
OK
My problem today is that when you push on your scroller button (wheel thing on the mouse), it's supposed to open that link that you just clicked on. Mine just stopped today, and I can't find out how to fix this gadget! Please help!

What brand? Some have their own software settings. Those that don't, have windows settings.

If a feature suddenly stops working without any obvious reason like update, the first thing to do is restart your computer. And I mean Restart, not Shutdown and pushing the button. That should reset any settings that have corrupted for one reason or another.

Yeah you're right on the spot with what I need to do. That moust is almost as old as dirt!

What I did was a cheap buy. What do you think about this one...

Things wear out. If its an old mouse think how many times you’ve used the switchers and scroller.

I just use MS wireless mouses. I usually get a few yrs out of them. They are going to go, so buying expensive is. Not worth it to me. $25 usually

Same for me and the one that I just bought was a Microsoft wireless going for 68.99 from Amazon.
