Left Click Delay or Temporarily Inactive
Ok so I have been experiencing problems with my mouse it seems to get sluggish or lagged out when I try to left click anything. Sometimes it will not select the object I click on, other times it will select the item but not open it unless I click 4-5 times. Just clicking a link in Firefox or IE sometimes requires 2-3 clicks before recognizing it. This issue also carries over into games and applications such as World of Warcraft I will have to click my skills multiple times to get them to cast or to select a target. Also if I try to click on something to drag it or move it around it doesn't seem to hold it will let go and then randomly try to hold or select the object again so if your mouse is somewhere on a web page if you're moving the browser it may click an image or a link.
Now the issue will occasionally clear up and the mouse will work flawlessly but then it's back and the frustration continues. I have been searching the web for a couple days now troubleshooting left and right to no avail. I found another person who posted the same issue as me and same situation it started happening after he installed new RAM. I started with a Triple channel OCZ kit that had 1 dead simm so it was running 4 instead of 6 gig and no problems. Put in the new replacement kit all 6 gig works and no software changes nothing.
All troubleshooting steps I have taken so far: (This is an Optical Corded MS Mouse)
1. Ran Anti-Virus, Anti-Malware, Anti-spyware and File corruption scans on the PC and no errors or problems detected.
2. Defragmented hard drive to ensure it just wasn't too cluttered.
3. Removed all USB drivers and re-installed them.
4. Removed the mouse and uninstalled it's drivers and put it into a different USB port.
5. I have not reformatted and installed windows again because that is a last resort and the individual who listed the same exact issue said he reformatted and installed windows fresh with no success.
Extra Info:
I am running full version Malware Bytes protection, full version ESET Smart Security 4, all on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
