Strange input device problem

[stevecox]

Unsure what has happened by my wife's laptop is down...the mouse no longer functions correctly and I can't figure out why. Left click brings up the usual right click propreties box and right click, rather than doing left click duties (which I guess I could understand) just flashes something then closes again. Also, start button won't leave the menu list open, just flashes it open and closed.
It's a Toshiba laptop with Intel Centrino M chip, Logitech wireless mouse (but I disconnected mouse and still have same prob with touchpad).
Any ideas?

Just a rough guess, but it kind of sounds like you have the mouse set to left-handed mode (swapping the buttons) and the ESC is stuck down on the keyboard so it is closing the Start Menu and the right-click menus as soon as they are opened.
