Optical mouse likes an even dull non-reflective colour surface. It goes willy nilly when u use it on a shiny surface.\n\nTry slowing down the response speed in the mouse configuration for Pointer Options found in the Control Panel.\n\nAlso your mouse may require specific software to be installed. Don't rely on the Windows default drivers for mouse. If your mouse come packaged with a installer CD, install that.\n\nSee if that correct the problem!\n\nAlso scan system for Viruses.

You probably need to adjust your mouse properties by going to Start > Control Panel and going to Mouse then go to the Buttons tab and there you should be able to adjust them.  My guess is the left click has been changed to open the right click options, if you don't want to manually fuss with changing it, you can just click the "Restore Defaults" button at the bottom and all should be as it was.\n\nSince your left click currently isn't working in order to open Mouse properties just left click on it (which is currently set as right click) and select Open.\n\nOkay, if you have been using System Restore (even if you haven't Windows puts in some restore points for you) you can try restoring your PC to an earlier time before you started having this problem.  If you recently updated the drivers that could very well be the problem (may not be but it could be) so either install the previous version of the driver or try using System Restore.  See if any of that works.

you might have a conflict between the mouse and another computer component.\n\nThe most common conflict is with the modem, so in case you are not using the modem, (most likely) try taking it off.\n\nyou can go to the control panel and under system, hadware,devices, look for the mouse and check if it has a conflict with any other hardware.

Try a mouse that plugs in to the USB port instead. They are really cheap.

If you are talking about a laptop just putting in an external mouse should do it if not go to the control panel under system/hardware/device manager.

Maybe looking at a sample mouse filter or mouse device driver in the Win32 DDK would help.

How about going to the 'Logitech' site & downloading the Drivers?

I got my wife a really small Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse.  The USB receiver snaps into the bottom of the mouse when you're done and turns the mouse off to save the batteries.  It was only like $15.
