right mouse (inc touchpad) not working

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

Hi,

Try go to the laptop manufacturer's website, download and install the latest
chipset drivers as well as the touch pad drivers (must be compatible to XP).
If you know how to update mobo BIOS, update it as well. You must be very
careful for BIOS update as an improper update of BIOS may turn your laptop to
a dead stone and the repair charges may be expensive.

You can also try to disable the touchpad and use a PS/2 or USB mouse then
check again.
