I've been thru both a mouse & keyboard on this computer. :D Just got a new keyboard a couple of weeks back.

I presume you tried the things I suggested. How about trying step 5 in the link I gave about fixes. ie: changing compatibility mode to either NT or 2000. Try both. This sometimes fixes odd issues for XP users.

Yeah, I've done everything. Nothing has changed. I've enjoyed Limewire and have had nothing but good things with it, unlike others which I will not name. I like using LW and want to continue using it. I just wish this problem could get fixed.

Did you managed to reinstall LW? Have you checked "all" other programs & games on your computer to see if anything else is affected with the mouse?

It's seems to be only Java programs. Opening Java Console has mouse disabled as well.
Reading through the Java support forums, there has been a problem like this before with several other users. But, no way of fixing it. It just stops.

How about the support site for the mouse? They may have some pointers or feedback about this type of issue. There may even be a firmware upgrade or something. It's obviously happened to other people.

You could try running a registry cleaner after uninstalling Java. Might be something left over from the uninstall causing this problem. Or maybe try an older version of Java.

I use a Microsoft Wireless Intellamouse explorer 2.0 also a Microsoft wireless optical mouse 2.0 and a Kensington optical wireless pocket mouse. I have never seen this kind of problem with any of them. Perhaps you could see if there are any updated drivers for your mouse.

OK CNC

Now we could be getting somewhere.

Now think back, before your mouse problem started, did you upgrade your mouse driver? If not, then did you adjust or play with any of the Logitech's mouse settings?

Chances are that either you or someone who shares your PC has upset the balance between LW and your mouse, you will have to do a little detective work to find out what has been changed and then reset everything back to it's original points.

Which possible means that you may have to re-install your (original) mouse driver, only after deleting what ever you now have.

That's just it. Nothing was done. No settings had changed. Everything just stopped working. And, it's not just LW. It's all my Java based wares. Java Console I can't click anything either. I've uninstalled my drivers for my mouse, it's actually the same one as my keyboard which operates properly with Java programs. I've deleted/uninstalled all LW and Java programs and reinstalled them with nothing changing. I've scanned registries and cleaned them of anything defective. It's utterly mindboggling. Java has noted the issue but has no solution as of yet.

BTW I've merged these 2 threads since I didn't know there were 2 going on the same topic. Easier & less confusing for anybody to find what's been suggested & tried & such feedback.
