My right click button won't work on my mouse for copying and pasting.?

Question

But is works to highlight

Answer 1

Yeah - looks like your mouse is configured to work for left-handers. If the config settings doesn't resolve it - Start>Control Panel>Mouse then it could be a mechanical problem, more than likely a bit of stuff stuck under the mouse button inside the mouse. Open up the mouse and remove the roller ball and clean out as much of the dust bunnies as you can see (no harm giving the mouse a good shake while you're at it).

Cheers

Answer 2

Check the settings on your mouse, it almost sounds like someone has set you up for a leftie mouse. The buttons seem to be reversed.

Answer 3

Open mouse properties in control panel and make sure it is set up the way you want.

Answer 4

Go to control panel and then click "mouse" and make sure everything is ok there.

Answer 5

That sucks! :-) sounds like you may need a new mouse OR go to CONTROL PANEL and click on MOUSE and see if you can fix it there... good luck :-)

if its a mac you might not have that
use ctrl V for pasting and ctrl C for copying

Answer 7

Try another mouse to see if maybe yours is shot.
