Wireless Intellimouse Explorer Left Mouse Button

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I assume you have the IntelliMouse software installed, go
to Control Panel, open the Mouse applet and see if the
left mouse button has been changed to DISABLED. You'll
have to navigate using the keyboard. Ctrl + Esc will
bring up the Start Menu, arrow up to (Settings) Control
Panel and use the Tab key to move to the main body, then
the arrow keys to move to the Mouse applet and when it has
focus, press Enter. Then look to see how the left-mouse
button is set, use the up/down arrows to change if
necessary, use the Tab key to get to the Apply and OK keys.

Good Luck !

Yes, if still under warranty, claim it.
