No, it doesn't. Even when running directly from the VirtualAcorn map, it 
needs 4 clicks before it will start.

No, nothing happens. I really have to quadruple click to get the program 
started (or triple click. when it is attached to the task bar.
In the latter case, I get the Select Mode window after a double click 
(should be a single click), after which I have to click a third time to 
get the same window again.
I then have to choose OK in both windows. Everything else fails.

It's absolutely only VRPC related. There's no mouse failure, nor any 
extra mouse software.

Yes, either by clicking Ctrl-Shift-F12, or by choosing Shut down from 
the Task menu.

Am I really the only one who experiences this weird behaviour?
Although it's not really a problem and I even got used to it by now, it 
still is an inconvenience that I would like to sort out.

Kind regards,
