    strange problem with mouse and windows help center


    hi all not sure im in the right place but since august's updates i got a problem that everytime i pressed my left mouse button on anything it would bring up the help center window which i thought was strange.

    I then decided i would reinstall my computer which i did installed all updates and then proceded to install norton anti virus this is when it started again and i had to reboot

    so i thought i would try uninstalling norton and i installed avast ended up with the same problem every time i press the left mouse button on something the help window would come up and not let me do anything else

    was wondering if anyone else had this problem bearing in mind this only happened after the updates and its now a fresh install

    yeah when this problem accurs clicking the start button just brings up the help window

    plus it doesnt happen straight away its like 5 to 10 mins of the pc being switched on
    and my mouse is a logitech g500 not sure if that makes a difference

    I would suggest you go to Device Manager and check the category under Mice and Other Pointing Devices and check to see what drivers are installed there. Make sure they are all Microsoft drivers. If you need any help getting there let me know.

    Try another mouse that isn't a Logitech. Set all settings to default. I have had Logitech drivers and programs that just don't get along with Windows. I don't know the reason for this but I have been there.

    Did you try going to the mouse properties as mentioned by Layback Bear ? Once that window is up try choosing the Device Settings tab at the top right. Then choose Settings and then Buttons from the left hand side. Then check the settings for the Buttons and then Left Button Action the one your having problems with to see if you change the default behaviour.

    I also agree with Layback Bear in that you should try another mouse. Something else that you can try though it may not prove much is to reboot in Safe mode to see if the behaviour exist there. If you did a clean install I don't believe it could be Windows 7 issue.

    We haven't heard from you lately, CyBeRSoL, so maybe this is already sorted out. I looked up your mouse and on Logitech webpage for g500:
    "Onboard memory - You can save your settings on the mouse. A ready-to-play profile (for keyboard macros and dpi settings)", and "10 programmable buttons - You can program your buttons to put valuable macros in your hand."

    Seems likely you need to re-program the macros. Or uninstall Setpoint drivers and install latest one here.

    I wouldn't do an upgrade install, as it might keep your current settings in place.

    Well done debugged. What CyBeRSoL should check to see when the issue starts happening that he checks the Macro Manager for any Macros that exist. Also I found this link that might help or least its worth a try.

    Mouse left click problem? - Yahoo! Answers

    Good luck
