Double clicking does not open files.

The regular double clicking to open files on desktop, or in e-mail or to play a song in iTunes, does not work. I can get around the problem by going to a scroll down menu and click open or play (a song) but is one more step to get where i need to go. The only thing I used lately that is different is that I used the mouse instead of the trackpad for a day because a small injury in my hands.

I have an iBook G4, 10.5.8

Thank you in advance for your time and attention,

John

PD: The mouse I was trying to use did not work, model M5769. I found the one that came with this computer later that week and worked instantly.

mouse M5769-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.5.8), is this mouse compatible with my iB

Are we to understand, then, you resolved this issue

by using a different model mouse at the time?

Since I was reading back through older posts to see

if some were left without a reply, I saw this & wonder.

Hopefully you were able to solve this issue and it

would seem as though a different product worked.

I often use a wired USB mouse with my portables.

Almost any brand of mouse including two-button

will work. Fancier ones may require extra software.

Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
