Hi

I've a Razer Naga Star Wars edition mouse and recently I've been facing clicking problems, for example on desktop icons or most of the time on the applications , it just doesn't do anything ,however if I hover on a button on the app that has a hover effect it shows its effect but I just cannot click on it . I can get the mouse working again by alt+ctrl+del ing on desktop but no the applications .

Thank you
 
When you get this issue, try this: Hit ctl-alt-del to bring up the task manager, go to the Processes tab and find the explorer.exe process and kill it. This will make your icons and desktop disappear. Don't panic. Click over to Applications tab click on New Task and type in explorer.exe, click OK. Icons and taskbar will be back. Test mouse click again. The clicking issue can happen if the explorer process gets messed up somehow. You probably want to test another mouse also to see if it does the same thing. If all this does not fix things, try the mouse with another system to see if issue is with mouse or with your computer.
