Left click button on my mouse has stopped working...HELP!!!!

Mics_chick

Is there anything I can do or look at to try and fix it ???

In the meantime I'm sort of coping by using the right click button and the return key but I don't know how to enter a 'tick' to turn an option on/off?
Is there another way I can do this?

Cheers MC xxx

If it's a non-standard mouse, check its configuration in Control Panel - Mouse. Hardware tab - Troubleshoot might help.

Use the Space bar to toggle options. Tab, arrow, and return keys can also be used to navigate Windows dialogue boxes. Alt-tab to switch between running applications.

As an emergency for tonight - Control Panel - Mouse, mouse buttons, buttons config, switch primary. this will allow the right button to act as the left. tommorow get a new mouse.

Yes, just left click on Control Panel - left click on Mouse, left click on mouse buttons, left click on buttons config, left click on switch primary. Then left click on Ebay short cut and buy a new mouse.

If it's not a USB mouse, make sure you haven't pulled the cable out of the PS/2 port a little bit, I've done that before :mad:

don't need a mouse just use windows shortcuts lol

TAB = forward scrolling
SHIFT+TAB = backwards scrolling
SPACE = tick a box
CTRL+A = select all
CTRL+C = copy selected
CTRL+V = paste
CTRL+X = cut
WINDOWS KEY+D = show desktop
WINDOWS KEY+R = run
WINDOWS KEY+S = windows search

ALT+RIGHT ARROW = go forward one page
ALT+LEFT ARROW = go back one page


thats all i can think of off top of my head.

Just 2 days ago I needed a mouse in a hurry and found an apparently broken one in my son's draw, neither right no left click would work but the scroll wheel and pointer did. Found that the base had come slightly detached at the front so the click buttons couldn't quite reach the micro switches inside. A drop of super glue then I held the front bits (base & cover) tightly together - presto! A fixed mouse.
