IS NOW RESOLVED Help request: Mouse right click

[WildHorse]

Any advice on how to restore mouse right click function when in the Windows START menu?

Suddenly today the mouse right click no longer functions within the Windows Start menu.
I suspect that someone else who was gaming here unknowingly fouled some setting.
I haven't been able to troubleshoot it.

Right click works just fine on the Windows desktop, and within applications, proving it's not any defect in the mouse.

In "Control Panel \ Mouse," all looks OK.

In the Logitech Mouse settings control, everything also looks OK, nothing appears altered.

Note: OS is Windows XP Pro SP2, mouse is Logitech MX-518.

Help appreciated. Thank you.

Change your Start Menu to Classic Windows and try it. If that works, change back to XP style - it should fix it.

corkyg ,

Thank you for trying to help. That didn't work.
Even after rebooting & other cleanups.

This computer has 4 user profiles, and the problem is ONLY on mine. :frown:
As far as I know, the problem only started after someone else used it for gaming.

Are there other suggestions?

This should fix it for you:

Has to do with the "Enable Dragging and Dropping" checkbox in your Taskbar/Start Menu Advanced Start Menu Options. I verified that if I unchecked the box, I no longer had a right-click menu in the Start Menu. Once I re-checked it, all was well.
