Right click not working.

    Looking at my parents pc here and the right click isn't working. I've tried a different mouse and the mouse here works fine on another computer.
    I can't right click on anything anywhere. I found this link on the web and followed the steps in the second method but it didn't help at all. I've never done anything in ther registry before so I don't really want to go messing around in there or is it safe enough?
    Thanks

    Did the other mouse work in the PC?
    It sounds like a driver issue, you could try installing the drivers again or even get another type mouse and install the drivers for that.

    I presume you've restarted the parents' pc? Also, you could try the troubleshoot function via control panel.

    I'd also suggest reinstalling the driver after that if it didn't work, I'm sure you could download one from microsoft's website or somewhere similar.

    Just reinstalled the drivers there and no joy. All the other mouse buttons work fine and if I assign the "right click" function to another of the mouse buttons using the "Microsoft Mouse" application (it's a Microsoft mouse), nothing happens. i.e. I apply new settings and they are displayed as being changed but the mouse behaves as before. Upon closing and re-opening the application it has reverted to the original settings. I'm stumped :confused:
