hey,

I recently bought a macbook and so far I am very pleased. It's probably one of the best investments I've ever made. During the past 2 days I was unable to open folders or doubleclick anything. It's weird, it's like all of a sudden I can't double click anything. I have to rightclick to open things.

This will last for like 2-3 minutes. I usually just close my macbook and open it back up again and it works. Should I bring my macbook into my local store and see what they say? Anybody else have this sort of issue? Thanks in advanced!

It just interprets a double click as a single click? Weird.

I'd say you should take it in, but I'm not an expert on Mactel hardware so others may have a better idea.

Thanks for the response. Yeah, I think I am going to take it in tomorrow. I'm new to mac, but I'm pretty sure something is wrong. I'll post after bringing it in tomorrow. Thanks again!

Try adjusting your double-click speed in keyboard & mouse system preferences.
