My right-click stops working after being on the internet over 45 min-hour.
I tried to google the problem and did not see anything. It isn't the driver; because the right click works just fine for the first bit. Microsoft did not have any help of course. Anyone? It's very annoying.

1. That's just fucking weird.
I'm an Apple person, so I only have one button. It's always worked for me, like everything else on this old computer.

2. When I think I've heard everything
Sounds like maybe a hardware problem. Thermal, perhaps.

Is there someone you can trade mice with? See if the problem follows the mouse or not.

3. Yup; first try a different mouse and see if the problem continues.
Or, try a diff. browser and see if the problem continues.

I had some troubles with one my browsers awhile back;
it would start doing things like that after I had used it
for an hour or so: ignoring mouse-clicks, cutting but not pasting, etc.

I thought it was a hardware problem for a WEEK; drove me nuts!

5. Ay, that's annoying.
The / key on my keyboard sometimes changes to e-accent-aigu without warning. It's very frustrating, especially when I'm playing World of Warcraft. That right-click thing would be even worse, though.
