I've been trying out some software on Windows XP called Gentle Mouse; its function is to reduce mouse clicks. After the cursor stops moving, a menu pops up and lets the user choose different actions such as left-click/right-click/double-click. The user can then just move the cursor to the corresponding box and the action will be immediately performed.

This application greatly reduces my finger strain caused by mouse clicks. Unfortunately it is not free, so I really want to see if a freeware alternative exists.

Any suggestions?

Not a lot out there but my grand-dad uses this

Point-N-Click is a FREE stand-alone on-screen virtual mouse designed for anyone with a disability that makes it difficult or impossible to click a physical computer mouse. As long as they can move a mouse, trackball or other pointing device, they can send mouse clicks to virtually any Windows application or DOS application that can run within a window and even many that are full screen.

Not really the same type of thing, but it is possible to direct the mouse without a mouse at all using the speech recognition software in MS Windows 7. Not sure about the OS you have, or if this will work but you, but for more info see here.
