Re: right mouse key not working properly



The mouse is not the problem.

See these.

Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/slowrightclick.htm

Right click causes an error and crashes Explorer.exe after installing
Windows XP SP2

I tried another mouse to no avail. Device manager reports mouse is
enabled & functioning properly. To recap: right mouse key will close
explorer window except when in safe mode. Otherwise, mouse works as it
should in all other cases.

Try another mouse, they are cheap enough.

You cannot access the Internet in Safe Mode. You can access the
internet in Safe Mode w/Networking, but not a good deal. Trying to
access the internet in Safe Mode with Networking is not a very safe
thing to try to do. Your firewall and antivirus software may not work.

See if there are any problems with your mouse in the Device Manager, like
drivers.

Open Device Manager...
Start | Run | Type: devmgmt.msc | Click OK |
Scroll down and click the [+] next to Mice and... |
Double click your mouse

Device Manager Device Conflicts

[[A black exclamation point (!) on a yellow field indicates the device
is in a problem state. Note that a device that is in a problem state can
be functioning.

A problem code explaining the problem is displayed for the device.

A red "X" indicates a disabled device. A disabled device is a device
that is physically present in the computer and is consuming resources,
but does not have a protected-mode driver loaded.

A blue "i" on a white field on a device resource in Computer properties
indicates that the Use Automatic Settings feature is not selected for the
device and that the resource was manually selected. Note that this does
not indicate a problem or disabled state.

A green question mark "?" in Device Manager means that a compatible
driver for this device is installed, indicating the possibility that all
of the functionality may not be available. ]]

I did update my anti-virus and ran it in safe mode. I had not thought
about running anti-virus in safe mode. A curious thing. I opened
explorer in safe mode and mouse worked perfectly. I rebooted and opened
Explorer in normal Windows and right mouse key closed the window
without being logged on to internet. The problem may not have to do
with logging onto internet. I had not opened explorer without logging
on to internet before. Another note, I have had to go to safe mode to
install a couple of applications. I tried logging onto the internet
from safe mode, but could not. Still have problem but you sure helped
to narrowing it down. --

Do not why logging onto internet would change mouse behavior.
