Hello again Fanor.

 

 

 

I was referring to a system restore point, NOT a full reload of the OS.

 

If you go to start > all programs > accessories > system tools, you

 

will find system restore. This will not effect your data/personal files

 

but may fix your problem, if you can find a system restore point from

 

before the problem with right-clicking the mouse started happening. In

 

any case, you should make a backup of data just to be prepared in case

 

something unexpected does happen.
