Mouse randomly starts clicking

[Ninja_sheep]

Hey
My mouse randomly starts clicking.
Usually starts after about 15min after I start the computer but it varies.
Works again after I restart computer. For those 15min.
I tried changing my mouse, but it still happens.

Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks in advance

Do you have a spare mouse laying around you could try?

"I tried changing my mouse, but it still happens."

How often does it happen? Any pattern to it or just random?

Its everytime a different timing. Sometimes it starts like 10 minuts after i start the computer, sometimes it just doesnt happen. But on average about 15 minuts.
Speed of clicks is changes but once it starts
its usually consistant. Ranging from 1 click per 10 seconds to multiple clicks per second.

I dont know if its relevant but my computer has
some other minor problems.
If i go into standby and turn it back on this black screen with white text saying there is an error and asks me if i want to start in diagnostic mode. I just start normal and it works.
Also my firefox sometimes crashes. Freezes -> screen goes white-ish (not just white) and it sais firefox isnt responding, asking me if i want to close it. No big deal i just restart it.
Also i had a virus some te ago and i had to reset my computer to a
previous time.

Dont think any of it is relevant but it may be.

And your operating system is?

Try a different USB port, or have you done that already?

Windows Vista :<

I already tried changing USB port.

I've not really read the rest of this thread, but does it happen when you boot into safe mode? (might have been asked already)

have you tried doing a "system repair" ?
