Re: Right-click Button Gets Disabled Randomly
mine did that.. and like americans developed pen and russians used pencil in space, i tried replacing the mouse (usb mice, hot-swap one to other) and new one worked in the same page, same place where old one wasnt working..
that mouse (possibly defective) works fine with other computers and RANDOMLY starts disabling right clicking..
so i went ahead and setup my computer for LEFT-HANDED usage.. (left key is right click context menu and right key is selection-click).
problem went away for a while, (I also got used to of left-hand usage), and then it started again.. (randomly). i switched to right hand operation, and also tested with different mice..
conclusion is: (if there is no software issue, like webpages/apps restricting context-click) windows xp's usb host, voltage, and mice brands (internal circuitry) does weird things that cant be explained in excel, or predicted.
a. i would recommend noting it down everytime it does that. . (what webpage, what application).
b. test it with a different mouse
