Seems like you need to go into youe "mouse properties" and adjust the parameters for the speed of the "mouse click" (sometimes called "double click")
Different types of software call it different things, but you should be able to adjust it. It appears that you need to slow it down. There are some things in Protel that require a "fast click" that appear very hard for me to do at times, such as right click on something that I want to delete from the "explorer tree", which occasionally takes several attempts, and almost seems like I can just barely "tap" the mouse button. You also might try an "EEA" from the keyboard, (Edit-->dEselect-->All), which sometimes works when all else fails. One other thing, you must be in an "idle" mode or state for the single fast left mouse key click to work, as in not in any other mode doing something else. Hit the escape key a few times to terminate any thing else that you may be in the middle of, then try the fast left mouse key click again.
