Desktop Goofiness

[Scott]

Hi, thanks for reading this.

Things seem to be fine now, but if it happens again, I'd like to know my options.

My mouse and desktop are being goofy. When I click on an icon, instead of opening, a small balloon opens and offers me the option of opening or not and the option for a 'new folder'. I can't seem to click and drag (it doesn't respond), and instead of scrolling up and down a page, when I scroll, the image gets larger and smaller...

As I said, things seem to be fine now, but just in case...

Does this sound like a mouse issue or mac issue?

Thanks!!

Sounds like the Control key might be sticking, or the mouse cable, or you are right clicking by mistake.

Thanks for the reply Kaveman. Much appreciated!

The Mac is responding to a right-click - what you're seeing is the contextual menu. Check System Preferences > Mouse and look at your mouse options - if you're not using secondary click, turn it to primary.
