From: JR on 2 Jul 2010 01:06 Using XPpro. I just had a tech person reformat my hard drive and reinstall XPpro and Office 2007 (from the looks of 2007 I'm sorry I did it). I'm just now getting everything set back up and my right mouse button isn't working. Can anyone help? EXAMPLES: The right mouse button seems dead and is non-responsive when I try to right-click on the desktop. It's also non-responsive when trying to right-click on files to perform copy/paste, etc., functions. Can anyone help? Thanks,

From: JR on 2 Jul 2010 02:01 No, unfortunately, it's not the mouse. It's the Microsoft software. I'm using the buttons on a Sony laptop and they worked perfectly before XPpro was reinstalled and Office 2007 was installed for the first time. Can anyone shed any helpful light on this?

OK, then try a different mouse and/or disable the touchpad & test. Any chance a driver update was installed via Windows Update recently? JR wrote: > No, unfortunately, it's not the mouse.
