Hello and welcome to Geeks to Go,
Did it work before in the past? Try this if it did:
1. Open Notepad
2. Write some characters
3. Attempt to copy the characters by selecting them even if you don't see the blue highlight.
4. Paste them.
Did it paste?

I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do but in the Control Panel > Mouse options, there is an option to switch the left and right buttons for a left handed person. You would be able to highlight with the right click then.

johnsep59 here again. Ok I guess I mispoke. I CAN highlight as usual with the left click. What is different is that when I then immediatly right click to bring up the option to copy I now get no response. I just now played with it some more. I realize now that if I slow down and try it again - waiting a few seconds between each right click- if finally brings up the box with "copy" as one of the choices etc.
Ok and now I am thinking that it appears that the right click seems to simply need more pressure to 'connect'.
So sorry. Never mind. I guess I jumped to concluding I had a more mysterious problem than I have. Thank you for trying to help.
Neat site. I just googled my problem and this site came up. Had never heard of it before.
