Technical question about computer mouse clicks...?

Those clicks you are hearing are indicator sounds Internet Explorer provides to tell you each time a server is being contacted for something, and you can turn them off.

1. Click Start on your desktop and select Control Panel.

2. From this list, pick Sounds and Audio Devices (for Windows XP) or Sounds and Multimedia Properties (for Windows 2000). A dialog window opens.

3. From the tabs across the top, select Sounds.

4. Scroll down and you will find a category called Windows Explorer. The last item under this heading is Start Navigation. Click this to highlight it.

5. In the box just below this, called Sounds, open the pop-up menu and scroll to the top and choose (None).

6. Click the OK button to close the dialog window.

Hi

It's a system sound effect. A couple of things could be happening here:

1. A different event is triggering a sound effect - just happens to be the same sound which is used when the mouse is clicked.

2. Your mouse is sending false signals, and the computer thinks the button is being clicked even when it is not. Unlikely.

Either way, do this to turn it off:

Start>Settings>Control Panel

Click Sounds and Audio Devices

Select the Sounds tab

Under Sound Schemes select none

Click Apply and OK.

Voila! No more sound effects at all, including phantom clicks.

It's probably your pop-up blocker, blocking a pop-up. I know my computer does that, so I just turn the sound down..
