Laptop Right Click Doesn't work?

I've got a Compaq CQ50 and the keyboard touchpad the right click :mad: has stopped working. Can anyone give suggestions for troubleshooting the problem. I've got a desktop PC and I haven't a clue :confused: when it comes to laptops!!

Thanks

    Try this

    Start Menu > Control Panel > Mouse (this should bring up screen showing left and right click options, maybe one of these settings has changed without you knowing ?)
  • You are probably running out of hard drive space! Go to My Computer right click Local Disk and then post hard drive used space and free space. Have you noticed your computer lagging a bit?
  • Tried both the op suggestions still not working, the laptop is only 3 months old :mad:

    Many thanks

    If its only 3 months old, take it back to the shop and ask them to fix it under the warranty.

    Do you have a Synaptics icon in your system tray, check the properties for the touch pad.
