Right Mouse Key Stopped Working After Upgrading From IE 5.5 to IE 6

[Harry]

I'm using Windows 2000 pro. I tried upgrading from IE 5.5 to 6 before with the same result that my right mouse key stopped working so I went back to 5.5. Unfortunately now I need to have IE 6 because of my job and a program requiring it. Though, if I could find a later version of IE 5.5 then that would work too but that was too hard to find so I just went to Microsoft to upgrade to 6. Anybody know how to fix the right mouse key problem? If I uninstalled and then reinstalled my microsoft optical mouse key drivers, would that fix the problem?

I think you need this : http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mo.../Download.mspx

Get the latest for your set-up.

Thanks,

I only had Intellipoint 3.2 and the latest version is 5.2. So maybe that will do the trick. Don't have time to install it now.

Nope. Just installed Intellipoint 5.2 and right mouse key still not working. What a pain.

As an experiment uninstall the mouse drivers and see what happens with just the generic windows drivers.

Also try a different mouse. I've seen right buttons die on MS mice, it may have been coincidence.

Does the right mouse KEY on your keyboard work? That's the one that looks like a sheet of paper and an arrow, on my keyboard it's between the right Windows key and the right Ctrl key.
