Windows XP prank/trick ...

[rapidex]

Every 20th/30th input command on my pc (from the mouse I believe) is repeating itself.

So if I'm working within an application, every few minutes a single click (for example) renders as a double click. This is starting to sh!t me.

Can anyone advise on what has been modified on my pc and how to fix this problem.

Cheers.

how do you know that this actually was "someone"?

I don't know that it was someone - too many late nights and too much coffee me thinks - post edited.

The easiest thing to try it a different mouse... Although I realise not everyone has a spare mouse lying around.

If you can be bothered, you could try a Linux Live CD and see if it does it whilst that is running. It would tell you whether it's the mouse, or whether it's something in Windows XP.
