mouse right click stopped working

[zakropotch]

I recently had to do a "systems restore" because something odd was happening
where the computer would not fully start up. As a result, the right click on
the mouse has stopped functioning. It's regular mouse with nothing fancy on
it such as wireless or anything hence no CD other than whatever Windows
provides a software to interact with the mouse. How do I get the right click
to work again?
Operating System: WindowsXP

Hi Z.If you go to control panel.Left click on the mouse.Go to
hardware.Click.Go to properties,driver.Then update driver.Alot of times when
i do system restore i have to update drivers on mouse and keyboard.The
software seems to get tucked away in the process.Hope this helps.TERRY.

Check your mouse properties via the Control Panel.

Another checkpoint that I have read but never tried myself:

Beings you can't right click go to Control Panel/System/Advanced. Select
Performance/click on Settings then Data Execution Prevention. Add
Explorer.exe
