Sounds like the microswitch in the mouse is wearing out.
Replace the mouse, they start at around UK£2 in puter fairs around here.

Or try Control Panel>Mouse>Buttons>"double click speed" and see if you can adjust to compensate for any wear.
Or buy a new damn mouse.
Heck, in my neighborhood you could have all the free mice you wanted if you didn't care that they weren't cordless/optical. Since everybody has converted there are probably hundreds of old style mice mouldering away in desk drawers.

God knows i only switched because the keyboard got crap spilled on it (sister) and the mouse broke. (lost alot of online games.)
