Lately my mouse has been acting weird. I accidentally spilled some water on it early today, though it was working okay afterwards. A few hours later, I noticed something weird. My first thought was it was running low on battery, so I changed the batteries. That didn't really fix the problem. Next I remembered I spilled water on it, but I wasn't sure if this type of error matches.
Basically, let's say I'm viewing the forum. My mouse moves around fine, but when I want to click on a link, like let's say a link to a thread, it won't work. It won't even change into the little hand. But if I minimize and maximize the page, it will begin to work. I tried restarting me computer a few times, and I couldn't click the items on my desktop, even though the mouse moved around find. A few moments later, I was able to click my icons, but I couldn't click my start tab. My start tab didn't even have a change in tint to notify that it was clickable, it was just there.
Sometimes when I want to go to a different site and try to highlight my current URL so I can input a new one, it won't work. And again, the icon won't change from the arrow.
Any idea what the problem is? It seems more like a computer problem than a mouse problem since if it were the mouse, I would believe it would just not work or something. The fact that the computer doesn't even seem to recognize a link as clickable is what confuses me.
I use Windows XP.
