I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2 with all updates from
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
I'm suffering a recurring problem that often arises. The cursor will
move as normal with the mouse, but neither mouse button works as it
should. Instead, clicking on the mouse forces the program into the
background, as though I've clicked on an empty space in the taskbar.
Also, on the desktop it will refuse to acknowledge that I'm clicking on
a desktop shortcut.
There is one way that seems to solve the problem. If I have programs
open, using Alt/Tab a number of times to jump between programs
eventually shakes the problem off. However, if I have nothing in the
taskbar then I'm well and truly stuffed.
If anyone has a solution to this problem I would be eternally grateful.
TIA.
