Well, I found the answer to my own question. I'll post it here in case someone else is searching for the same issue. I downloaded the microsoft basic mouse software and that allowed me to assign doubleclick to the scroll "button". I love this website and hope this of help to others.

I'm sure I had an old mouse set up this way a few years back but can't for the life of me figure out how to do it on a newer (1 1/2 yrs. old) HP. This is a mouse with a left button, a right button and a scroll in between. The Vista software doesn't offer an option for double click. Any one here...

Sorry to be so long in replying. Yes, the recovery disks are for that computer. I sent for them on CDs right after I bought the computer. I guess this thread can end. I gave the PC to my adult son to use. They will get a new NIC card for it. Thanks again to everybody for trying to help.

Thanks, Johnb35. Will the system just bypass the dead plugin socket and go right to the pci card plugin socket?

Umm....I'm trying to do that right now. It says it is working properly but it's lying. :( Any ideas?

My C drive crashed in my 5-yr-old computer (has WinXP) so I decided to get a new computer with Vista. I'm trying to refurbish the old PC so someone else in the family can use it. I replaced the tiny C drive with a 120 HD and restored the entire computer with HP recovery disks. Everything...

OK, I admit I'm somewhat ignorant about this even after reading the stickies and anything else I could find on the net. I'm hoping someone here can explain this in idiot's terms to me. My old PC had an Athlon 1.3 GHz/200 shown as the "base processor and speed". It's about 6 years old. My...

Thanks for your input. I do have USB (2.0 I think) on the front of the PC. I use it for digital camera uploads and for my microphone for IM. I have Windows XP and don't plan to upgrade to Vista. So are you saying either USB/Firewire or eSATA will work for me? (I don't have Firewire as far...

I'm about to buy an external hard drive to back up my system. I am not very geeky so I'm confused (yes I read the stickys) about what format I need. My system is an HP Pavilion about 5 years old. I've got a 40gb drive and a partitioned 120gb drive. I know formats keep advancing and I don't...

When I am away from my computer for awhile and it goes into hibernate, I find that the static from touching the mouse when I am ready to use the computer again causes a double cursor (two points about 1/2 inch apart). I've been rebooting to get rid of it but wonder if any of you know of a...

I am setting up my friend's new Dell computer for her tomorrow (she's 70) and it shipped with Windows Vista OS. Her old computer has Windows ME. I want to copy her address book, favorites, and documents (text files and pictures) via CD to the new computer. She uses Yahoo! mail so there's no...

Thanks, ceewi1....that fixed the problem!

My network "card" crashed and burned last week and I installed a different one. Even though I removed the old card with the device manager in control panel, it keeps loading every time I start my computer, even putting an icon in the tray showing it's not working. With XP Home, I don't see an...

I had a similar problem. Here's how I solved it. I uninstalled ALL vendor CD burners so ONLY the XP program would be accessed to burn a CD. Next, I went to control panel/system/hardware/device manager and uninstalled the CD drives. Next, I rebooted and let the computer find the "new hardware" of...

I'm not talking about free hosting. I have a paid hosting service (not JUNO) with my website on it. I just want to use FTP to get some more files to it and revise some of the existing ones. The site was originally set up by sending a CD with the files to the host. Now that I want to update...

Can I upload files through an FTP application to update my website if my ISP is the free version of Juno?

When you "delete" a program it doesn't remove the changes that installing made to your registry and other places in Windows. I usually "uninstall" and only then if the program files/ location is still there, I delete it and delete the desktop icon by hand. That way I am more confident that...

My OS is Windows XP, I have a Panasonic digital camera, an HP printer, and a Canon scanner. All these devices have put programs all over my computer to process photos with, create albums, etc. I'd like to pare down to just one program to "do it all". Any suggestions? Thanks!
