Not sure where this question belongs, but since the last upgrade, my mouse doesn't work correctly. I used to be able to left click on an item and I would be able to do whatever that item was meant to do. Now when I click on an item, a background script appears in a box as if I had right clicked on it or hovered over it. I have uninstalled some of the apps where I first noticied this happening thinking that was the problem but it is persistent. Any helpful  ideas? Thanks.

Any chance that you could grab a screenshot and upload it for us so we can see exactly what is happening.

 

To capture and post a screenshot;

 

Click on the ALT key + PRT SCR key..its on the top row..right hand side..now click on start...all programs...accessories...paint....left click in the white area ...press CTRL + V...click on file...click on save...save it to your desktop...name it something related to the screen your capturing... BE SURE TO SAVE IT AS A .JPG ...otherwise it may be to big to upload... Click on the More Reply Options tab then after typing in any response you have... click on Choose File...desktop...find the screenshot..select it and click on Attach This File...on the lower left...after it says upload successful...click on add reply like you normally would.

While I was waiting for a reply I searched other forums and posts. I found a post on hardware and I switched out my mouse. TA DA the problem is fixed. I thought it was a software issue because the problem happened right after an update but it seems to be the mouse I was using. Thanks for your time.
