Time for some more tech issues. If you thought I was talking about the little furry rodents... well I am not sorry to have mislead you... Because it was your own damn fault in the first place.
Back to the matter at hand: I have had some issues with Lucy simply locking any and all types of mice up on me. It isn't to say that they are completely locked up... but it is still a pain in the ass. I can still scroll, right click, and move the courser around on the screen. I can't use the left button at all. When I do use it, it treats the action as though I clicked onto my desktop or on nothing at all!
Just image that I have two windows open. I am currently moving stuff from Folder 1 to Folder 2. I finish moving stuff from Folder 1 to Folder 2 and I go to close Folder 1. I click on Folder 1 and then hit Alt+F4 and it closes. I know there are other ways to do this but this is for the sake of explaining my problem. As we know, by clicking on Folder 1 I, in a sense, deselect Folder 2. By doing so I ensure that when I hit Alt+F4 that is the folder I want closed.
Now image that I have anything open, but just one thing. A folder, Firefox, Spybot Search and Destroy, GOM Player, Winamp, or anything else that you can think of. Now imagine that I decided to close one of them simply by using the mouse. When I left click on it to select or hit the button to close it, it simply treats it as though I deselected it. It doesn't even have to be closing the application. It can be anything from what I've seen. It is mostly trying to open up a folder, closing a program, or simply selecting that application, the point is that I can not use the mice for the main, or at least the simplest, purpose of which it was made for. That is being able to select things by hitting the left button!
As for things that I have tried to fix this problem when it occurs... I have swapped back and forth between two similar mice. I have tried using the touch pad, both the left button and the tapping function. Serves the same purpose. I have run Spybot Search and Destroy in the hopes that I might find some virus (I don't really want to find a virus, but if there is one it is good to know right) that might be causing this problem. I tried to run AVG, but I couldn't get the damn thing to respond very well. I ran through looking to see if there was anymore software for the touch pad and the two mice. I tried looking up some stuff on the internet, but of course to no avail. I shouldn't give on it though. There is more that I things I can try searching for that my lead to better results. The last thing I can think of is that I run some program Windows has for checking if there are any problems with the way things are working. That, as you may have guessed, failed. You may be wondering how I did all of this. Actually you probably aren't. That isn't going to stop me from explaining it anyways.
I don't really know how this came about. I know how the object in question came about... but not one of the thing on it. It had to have been added when the first home computers came out, before mice were widely used, and navigation software was based solely on one key. Enough of this bullshit, I'm talking about the "Tab Key." By putting it in quotes I make it seem godlike. I kind of wonder a bit as to why my keyboard still worked while my mouse was on the frits. I admit that they aren't a single package. Just because one is fucked up doesn't mean the other has to be as well. It is kind of like the right and left hand. One is the dominant (I will let you decide which), which does almost everything, while the other is just there to help out when needed, but still has its own tasks that it alone does. But when you break the dominant hand, you at least have your other hand to fall back on to do the things the dominant hand does... just not as well. Anyways, despite the fact that I could not use my mouse, for any help what so ever, I was able to do all that random shit in the paragraph above thanks to this key. Though AVG doesn't seem to want to respond to it. As for whether or not the first three lines of this paragraph are right about the tab key... I don't think so, but I have been known (not really) to make a shot in the dark and hit pretty damn close to the center... or at least the target...
Here is a little fun thing to add to the mice problem. It doesn't involve the two USB mice but the touch pad. This doesn't even matter the left button is fucked up or not. I don't know when, how, or why, but for some reason and some how the right button stopped working. It is baffling and very annoying. Despite this I have come to find some means to get around this when I don't have a USB mouse. I have t admit that the rate of usage for the right button has dropped regardless of the fact that I have two USB mice with fully functional right buttons. Enough of this shit... Time to do something else.
