Major Mouse problems, Left click acting like right click, very annoying!

I'm pretty sure that updating or reinstalling (remove it - it should reinstall itself) the mouse driver will do the trick. In the case of the use I supported, I believe there was a conflict in her external mouse & the built-in touchpad (NOT a Dell, BTW).

Anyway - the "quick fix" that worked for me when there was no time to do that? Simply USE the right-click (which will get the same results as the annoying left click) and then go back to using the left click & everything was normal again.

Try a different mouse.  If the problem is resolved then the mouse needs replacing.

Hey guys I have a really annoying problem. I have read about it on-line as other people seem to have experienced it but there is no real definitive answer. On rare occasions, my mouse will act funny. When you press the left button, it will act as the right, and the right button will continue to act as the right one. When you go into the mouse settings, even if you swap them around it still acts like there's two right clicks and no left click buttons. I have tried a number of suggestions from elsewhere on the web including re-booting my pc several times, trying to update windows, disabling the mouse, re-installing, using a different mouse etc.. no matter what I do the problem persists.

The only way to get the mouse back to normal is either to turn the pc off and leave it a few hours, in which case sometimes even that does not work. The only other time it rectifies itself is on its own. Sometimes it will just correct itself without you doing anything to it.

I will be very thankful for any advice anyone can give. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know anything at all about it? Thanks

BTW My system info: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit, Amd Athlon X2 2.2GHz CPU, 4GB Ram, XFX - MI-A78U-8309 M/B, Few SATA drives, Logitech MK300 Wireless K/Board and Mouse.

Hi thanks for the advice but I have tried the a different mouse as stated previously. Any other idea's?

Not sure if you had the same problem as I was, but this went away when I pressed the Alt button. 

Can you please clearly write what you did exactly and after that mouse starting working normally?

Reason for asking is that invariably one presses 'Alt' button during the course of the day's work number of times. Does it mean that by just pressing 'Alt' key problem goes away? Does not look reasonable to me, unless I'm missing something.

try Left Ctrl + Left Alt + Left Shift for left click and RCtrl + RAlt + RShift for right
