Problems with wireless mouse

[mirandalea]

Hello! I have a Microsoft Optical Wireless Mouse that is having serious issues. It works for the most part, meaning the little mouse pointer will travel anywhere on the screen that you tell it, but the buttons are not working correctly. When you click something, nothing happens, but if you click and hold and drag the mouse just a tiny bit, it recognizes that you've pushed the button. The wheel has the same problem. When you roll it, it works fine, but if you click the wheel, you have to drag the mouse just a tiny bit to get the little arrow compass to appear.

I've tried changing the batteries, I've tried changing channels, I tried holding the reset button on the mouse and the receiver at the same time, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've changed ports, I've tried adjusting the mouse settings, I've tried navigating the Microsoft troubleshooter, and now I've run out of ideas. Anybody got anything??
