    Several months ago, the mouse on my desktop PC started to highlight folders, etc. too quickly; and also when I right click and pass over the explore or send to options it hangs up there for a bit before "catching up" to where I move my mouse. I hope this is a clear enough explanation of what is going on. It's a Logitech usb mouse. I have explored changing the settings on it; but nothing seems to get rid of this annoying problem.
    Thanks for any help offerred.

    Thanks so much. The number two method seems to be the one that worked. I had changed a setting at some point. Thanks again.

    Resolved: Mouse problem

    I was able to change my settings in My Computer / Advanced/ Settings/ Visual effects by clicking the "Let Windows decide what's best for my PC" tab. I can always change it back to what I had if I want to do so. Thanks for all the help. :)
