[at-l] Another computer question?

[Mara Factor]

Sounds like a dead mouse to me.  Here's some troubleshooting suggestions:

   1. Reboot.  It's unlikely to work but you never know.
   2. Disconnect and reconnect the mouse. (May require a reboot.)
   3. Use the mouse on another computer (at work, friend's place,
   wherever).  If it works there, it's the computer.  If it doesn't work, time
   for a new mouse.
   4. Learn keyboard shortcuts and ditch the mouse altogether.  OK, a bit
   extreme but keyboard shortcuts are very useful, especially when having
   mouse problems.  LOL

I've discounted things like cleaning rollerball rollers and ball, or
optical light because it's only the right click not working.  I've also
discounted mouse software for the same reason but if you have recently
updated your computer, and your mouse calls for its own driver software,
you may need to reinstall and/or update that.

Better a dead mouse than dead computer.  They're a dime a dozen if you buy
new or since lots of people have extras lying around, maybe you know
someone with an extra.
