trackpad double click

my trackpad on my MBpro17 works correctly except that suddenly the double click does not open files anymore.

I can select with one click, but not open by double clicking. Can only open files or folders via a right hand click then menu option.

Tried changing track speed in preferences, and that might solve it for 1 or 2 clicks.

otherwise it works perfectly.

any ideas? thx

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

Hi aruiz1,


Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.


After checking the double-click speed using the article below, I'd start by seeing if the issue persists when booted into Safe mode or in a new user account:
