Can anyone help with a mouse problem I am having?
My mouse right key won't function when I click on stuff in the body of an email or forum. It works on the header and footer lines like File, back, address and so on, and in forums which have topics on the left of the page it works in the lft portion, but in the responses portion it just ignores me.
I use it a lot to print as it gives me control over which page to print and printer properties but now it doesn't respond to that. It was working fine until I clicked on one of the infuriating moving monkeys popups in my email I right clicked on it and closed the link, which at least stopped the monkey running around, but a few minutes later it stopped responding. I run W98 with IE5.5, I have reinstalled the mouse, changed the mouse for a new one, reinstalled windows about 3 times, reinstalled IE5.5 2 or 3 times, no improvement. I have not uninstalled these programs as i didn't want to lose the Programs and favourites etc and my CD burner is U/S so I can't save them, should I bite the bullet and uninstall everything, or is there something I can do in Regedit or Sysedit etc to cure it? I am pretty sure it's in the programming somewhere not in the hardware.
