Sometimes the mouse doesn't left click in Hyper-V

I am MCT, some of the classes I deliver at the customer location, in which case I prepare the VMs at the training center, and the participants access them using remote desktop on the machine (not directly on the virtual machine).
Sometimes a very strange thing happens. Moving the mouse in the VM windows selects text, if selectable text is available, left click doesn't work, but right click works fine. In the remote desktop window, everything is fine.
I cannot reproduce this problem, and I fix it with reboot or revert. Both work.
I am guessing this is some setting that is triggered by a key combination.
Thanks for any information on the issue.

The host operating system is Windows 2008R2 SP1.
Guest operating systems vary. It happened with 10266 (win7), 6231, 6232(win2008), 1077x(win2012). They remote from their notebooks, which vary, and the software installed varies. It happened in serveral courses, at several customers, with different notebooks,
so I'm assuming it's not from the notebooks.
It happens only to the course participants, I have the VMs on my notebook and it never happened to me. Since I can't reproduce the problem, I obviously can't tell you what they were doing. Generally speaking, they were doing their labs. However, neither
participant has ever noticed a pattern.
I didn't notice anything interesting in the event logs. There are some warnings/errors, but mostly related to the lack of internet connection, maybe an unavailable domain controller, stuff like that.
In the meantime I requested all the mice from desktops with issues be replaced, since this is a small cost but solves a very unpleasant situation. Can't tell the outcome since the change is recent and the issue doesn't appear all the time.

If it's the cursor you're talking about In Windows, try this:
Right-click the desktop.
Choose Personalize.
Click the Display link.
Change to a slightly different size. For example, if you're at 150%, try using the Custom sizing options link and setting to 149% or 151%
If you're seeing what Trevor is showing, without a delay, it's possible your left and right mouse buttons are swapped.

Sometimes my screen starts to move on my iMac. It's like it's trying to turn the page and it gets off center and the mouse doesn't work when it happens. It usually lasts about 15 seconds or so and happens often.

Sometimes the screen on my imac starts to shake like it it trying to "go to the next page". When this happens it usually freezes up for 15 seconds or so and the mouse doesn't work.

Have you tried a hard reset of the iPod to see if that helps? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, work through each of the troubleshooting suggestions in this Apple support document as necessary.

I would like to change the mouse shortcut for ctrl-click to be shift-click

Hi,
basically I would like to change the mouse shortcut for ctrl-click to be shift-click - that is I want to harmonize my browser shortcuts and there are other browsers out there that open a new tab on shift-click, not on ctrl-click.
How can i customize this?
THNAKS!!!

Firefox has always used Ctrl + left click to open links in a new tab and Shift + left-click to open a link in a new window.
Maybe a tab related extension can change that behavior.

Rollover Sidelet disappears after a few seconds even when the mouse hasn't left the "hit area."

Rollover Sidelet disappears after a few seconds even when the mouse hasn't left the "hit area." There is enough text in the sidelet that the user cant read it all before it disappears on its own. Then they have to move their mouse off the hit area and back on it to see it for another 5 seconds. How do I fix this?

You should tell which version you are using. If you are on CP7 or earlier, look in the Properties panel of the slidelet, not the slidelet area (that is the rollover area, blue rectangle): change time in Timing accordion.
If you are on CP8, for the same object (slidelet) change its time in the Timing panel that is now no longer in the Properties panel.

In panorama, when I left click and drag to open a new tab group, unclicking doesn't create the new group and left clicking again only creates another group without finalizing the first one.

In Firefox 4.0 beta 11 (Windows 7 Professional) left clicking in panorama creats a new tab group but letting go doesn't finalise the group. I have XP mode on my computer and firefox b11 works fine in the virtual PC.
Edit:
This has continued into Firefox 4 RC2

I have spilt alcohol on my macbook pro and now the mouse doesn't respond to commands but clicks randomly,. can i disable it

I have spilt alcohol on my macbok pro and now the mouse does not respond but just clicks randomly. Is it possible to disable it?

Disable what; the clicking or the mouse or the MBP?
Seriously, I suggest you call your local Apple Store and make an appointment to have them check out exactly how much damage the wine did to your MBP.

When typing in the Find Bar, sometimes the caret goes away without clicking or moving the mouse. This also happens when backspacing in the Find Bar, and results in going back one page in the browser. How can this be remedied?

Sometimes the carat goes away after one letter, while other times I can get an a few letters in before having to re-click inside the text box in the bar.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Mouse won't left click or right click

Mighty Mouse (wired) has stopped recognising left click and right click. All clicks on the mouse are interpreted as a click on the scroll wheel ("centre click") which brings up Dashboard and prevents normal use of the mouse. Is there a way to fix this, or is the mouse dead?
I have unplugged the mouse a few times, but no change. The side buttons still work and the scroll wheel still operates normally, just no left or right click. My spare mouse is an older style (from a G4) so can't access the relevant preferences to re-map how the Might Mouse should operate (eg, to change centre click to operate the normal left click function). Any suggestions? It's still under warranty and has already been replaced once for a different problem.

You could try cleaning it:
Use a clean lint-free cloth lightly moistened with water. Wipe the ball and the surrounding area, making sure to rotate the ball itself to ensure complete coverage. If the scrolling feels rough or if the scroll ball isn't scrolling up, down, or side-to-side, hold the mouse upside-down and roll the ball vigorously while cleaning it to help dislodge any particles that may have collected on the internal hardware.
Let us know if this helps,

In Facebook only(not in Word) , when I type a message the mouse cannot be right clicked

There are 4 accounts in our home computer. I upgraded to FF3.6.13. Two of the 4 accounts worked perfectly. The third account wouldn't connect to FF (said something abt PROXY settings but I was able to correct this thru your forum). The 4th account belongs to my cranky husband who is on Facebook all the time. He has spelling and grammar issues so he right-clicks the mouse all the time. Plus he need to upload pictures. Help!!! I used System Restore to get back to the earlier version of FF... but lost all internet connection so I installed FF again..

Thanks! I found this:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
I can't find this, however: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto.
Do I need to delete both to make this fix work? Obviously, I have no idea what they do. >:-)

TS3092 I received my new imac and the mouse doesn't work

I just recieved it yet the magic mouse doesn't seem to work. Like it wasn't even paired in the the first place?? What's wrong?? And how am I going to use my imac

Hello:
When you first turn the iMac on (and the mouse, of course), the device should start to pair.

The button on the mouse doesn't scroll down or sidewides...

This is a minor bother but it bugs me every single day. The little nub-button (Button 3 according to System Preferences) on my cordless not-magic mouse will only scroll up; not down or side wides. I've mucked about with the mouse preferences setting but it's still not working. There has got to be an easy fix for this; I'm just missing it.
The batteries are still at 66% so I don't think that's the problem. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Brian

Usually when that happens, you need to clean it.
Here's one demo video: http://km.support.apple.com/library/APPLE/APPLECARE_ALLGEOS/HT3226/HT326.mov
You will find many other ways of cleaning an Apple Mighty Mouse (the only one with a scroll ball) - just search for variations of "mighty mouse scroll ball" in your favorite search engine.

Using Maverick in two screen setup sometimes the mouse arrow follows the menu bar when I switch screens, and sometimes not. Sometimes the menu bar is on one screen and the mouse is on the other. What am I missing?

Am looking for a simple way to move the mouse arrow to the other screen. Must I go to Apple/System prefs? I assume the mouse arrow and the menu bar should stay together. OK, but how do I access the dock when it is not on the screen with the mouse arrow? Is the Dock unmoveable? What is needed, I guess, is a master screen with mouse, dock and menu bar, and the option to select which screen is master with all those commands available.

You're Welcome...
Another silly suggestion...
Have you done a Restart since you were fiddling around with various settings...?

I can no longer use the address bar to change websites. I can block text with the mouse and input a new URL but when I hit the enter key or left click on the right arrow it has no effect and the page does not change.

Also Ctrl+Enter no longer adds www+.com to words entered in the address bar. I can use bookmarks to change to other web sites or my password manager. Re-booting my laptop makes no difference. Please help.

Hey CaptRobyn,
Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down "shift" while Firefox is starting up. It might be related to an extension. Then you should read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
Hopefully this helps!
