Is there a software fix for a USB mouse that double clicks?
It's an optical mouse from Gateway. When I click, sometimes it reads the click twice. Can I fix this with the software, or should I just get a new mouse?
3 AnswersAdd-ons10 years agoWhy do the Spurs seem to get so little attention?
The San Antonio Spurs have the best record in basketball by a lot, but they don't seem to get that much media attention. In fact, I hear a lot more about the Clippers (because of Griffin) than about the Spurs. I'm not a Spurs fan or even that much of a basketball fan, I'm just confused by this.

It's a mambo song from the 40s-50s, played by the Perez Prado orchestra and sung by Benny More. I have it on the CD Mondo Mambo from Rhino Records, track number 4. The lyrics are in Spanish, and I would like a translation.

5 AnswersOther - Food & Drink1 decade agoMy usb drive has been hit with Malware. Is there a good program for removing it?
It turned my folders into .exe programs, then hid them. On one of my laptops, it won't let me check "show hidden folders." Seriously: every time I click it, it reverts back. I'd just google USB malware removal, but I'm a little untrusting at this point. Any advice?
6 AnswersSecurity1 decade agoWhat song says "This'll be the last song that I write"?
There's something in the chorus about "I am a real rock star now". It's a man singing with acoustic guitar and a sort of kind of folk-rock feel. I'm pretty sure it's a recent (2005 or later) song, but I could be wrong.
1 AnswerLyrics1 decade agoI've lost access to folders on my thumb drive. Can anyone help?
A week or two ago, my thumb drive started acting strangely. My file folders had been converted to .exe. Someone told me that a network I use had caught a virus that affected usb ports. I ran Malwarebytes on the thumb drive; now I can't find the folders at all. I know the data is still there; I can get them from recent files in MS office. But I can't access the folders or the files within them from Windows explorer. Please help! I have urgently important data on there.

I hear them talk about "red-shirt" and "true" freshmen on college football teams. What does that mean, and where does the term come from?
6 AnswersFootball (American)1 decade agoWindows explorer has stopped recognizing folders created on my thumb drives?
I have a bunch of different folders on my thumb drive. When I try to upload something, the pop-up menu won't let me open the folder to get to the files in it. It thinks I want the whole folder (which is now a .exe file) to be uploaded. The folders don't show up in Explore when I click on the plus sign next to the drive, though they do show up as being on the drive. When I click on a folder, it opens in a separate window. When I create a new folder, it gets converted too. I've tried this on two different thumb drives, so I know it's not just that. This is getting really frustrating. Can anyone help?
2 AnswersOther - Hardware1 decade agowhat happens if a pitcher hits a baserunner while trying to pick him off base?
If a pitcher throws to the first baseman to pick a runner off and hits the runner, what happens? I know that a runner hit by a batted ball is out and that a batter hit by a pitch advances to first, but what about a baserunner hit by a pitch?

4 AnswersFashion & Accessories1 decade agoWhy doe Yahoo! Answers think I have answers to people's hair questions?
Under "Recent Questions recommended" are a bunch of questions from girls wanting to dye their hair blonde. Why does Y!A think I would be able to answer these? I don't recall ever answering a question on this site about hair. BTW, ladies, if you need hair advice, the best I can give you is don't take any hair advice from me. I average about 1 haircut every 2 years.
