The right click on my mouse and my laptop seem to only work sporadically today. Is this simply a problem with the mouse or is my computer starting to die?

[s]Touch pad mouse being the source of the problem?
Plug in a external one & see what that does..[/s]

Doh!

When the remote one fails the touch pad does too.

Stuck key? Try pressing all the shift, ctrl, alt, win etc keys to release them.

Reboot?

Oh, also,

Shift-F10 is a shortcut for right-click if you need to work round it.

If the touchpad and an external mouse aren't working then it's not the mouse that's the problem 😛

I assume you've tried the faithful turn on and off again?
Is everything else working OK?
