AFAIK such issues I've seen in the past were Java related. Do you have a special mouse or any special mouse software or designer mouse or pen mouse, etc. or any special software that supports speech for keyboard, etc. This might be causing a clash. Try disabling them temporarily & see if it makes a difference.

I am using an optical cordless. The curious thing is why after months of uninterupted service would it being this? The other thing is I would disable my cordless keyboard and mouse but I don't have corded ones anymore. (lol. The reason I got cordless was because my previous mouse burnt out.)

I've been thru both a mouse & keyboard on this computer. 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.

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.
