I have a Microsoft Optical Intellimouse, and I have had the exact same issue since I switched to Vista 64 from XP. I used it just fine on XP for about a year and a half. Before that I had another Intellimouse that I had used for about 5 years on Windows MS and XP, the only problem coming from me taking it apart and the left side button not working anymore. With my new one I switched from XP, which it worked perfectly fine with, to Vista. On Vista within about 3 days I noticed it would randomly double click files. Now it will open a maximum of five windows with a single click. I've gone back and used it with computers running ME, 98, and XP, and it works fine. It has the latest drivers installed, and I've monkeyed around with the double click speed from min to max and it still does it. And yet Microsoft's answer, and everything I've read is "It's a crusty old mouse, get rid of it." I’d like to see what happened when you brought it to work.

If it does, then it is nothing more than a worn out mouse causing me problems and it's an easy fix. In the meantime, I'm very happy that my original Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer is still working perfectly, even if it is a little crusty!

Especially since changing the mouse was the only effective solution. The microswitches in the mice these days are very fine and whilst built to be robust are nonetheless fragile little creatures. Perhaps you are due for a new one. It sounds like it may be your mouse causing the problem. Especially since changing the mouse was the only effective solution.
