If the right clikc button messes up the game, try not pressing it. You
could also try getting a USB Macintosh mouse (usualy have 1 button)
but there is no garantee that will work.

I have gone to the hardward (mouse) section under control panel, but there is
not anywhere to check or uncheck or highlight or anything to disable the
right click feature. Can you think of anywhere else to try? Or is XP
incapable of this?

LOL I would LOVE not to click it when playing those fast internet games, but
age and/or coordination probably have something to do with that!

As i said, you canot disable the right click button becasue it’s an
esential interface featur that windows needs, how ever if you get a
mouse with one button (say a USB macintosh mouse) then obviusly that
should solve your problem, and you shouldnt have to mess with settings
or hardware when switching mice, as windows dose alow for simultaniuse
mouse usage.

Unfortunatly the offical MAc mouse costs about £20 :?

So, what i surgest you do, is get an old (but working) mouse, open it
up, and disable (in what ever way you see fit) the other button(s) you
dont want.
