There are two different things that would cause a mouse button to stop working. The first is a with the mouse itself. The second is software related.
The software issue may just need you to update your driver or reset the mouse button's assigned tasks to the default settings. To do this use either the control panel or if you have software for the mouse use that and reset to the default settings.
The hardware issue is a different story. When you push the mouse button can you feel the faint "click"?
If not then the problem is the mouse itself. It may just need to be taken apart and cleaned or it could be that the small "momentary switch" is bad. I have replaced them but to be honest it a real hassle and requires a lot of electronics soldering experience.
I hope this helps and good luck.

Rotate screen back to horizotal

Try pressing Ctrl + Alt + UP Arrow Key, or try Ctrl + Alt + and a different Arrow Key.

If that does not work: Right-click on empty Desktop > Graphics Options > Rotation.

or
Press "Ctrl-Alt" and an arrow key (left, right, up or down) to rotate the screen.
Continue pressing the hotkeys and arrow keys until you reach the desired rotation. This works with most video drivers on Windows XP. If it doesn't,

Click "Start," then "Control Panel," then "Display," then the "Settings" tab. Click the "Advanced" button. Check for an "Orientation" option. Select your desired orientation.

hope this helps

    The display on my new widescreen Samsung monitor is not centered. It is too far to the left. There are no obvious buttons to center the display.

    TRY RIGHT CLICKING YOUR MOUSE HOLDING IT DOWN ON YOUR PICTURE AND DRAG IT TO THE RIGHT.

    IF THIS DOESN'T WORK...THEN, LEFT CLICK ON YOUR DESKTOP...GO TO CUSTOMIZE MY DESKTOP...CHANGE HOW YOU WANT YOUR SCREEN DISPLAYED.

    HOPE THIS HELPS!

    Hi, my left clicker on my Sony Vaio stopped working. The right clicker works as well as the scroll pad but clicking on the scroll pad doesn't work as well. I have tried rebooting, installing the mouse...

    More then likely the button has worn out.The first thing I would try to check to see if its the button or not ,just plug a mouse in to the laptop and see if that works with left click if it does it just may need a new button put in.If your handy you may even be able to do it yourself.If you have any other questions just let me know.

    On touch pad, the left and right click below the pad, for the mouse, the left button doesn't click anymore?

    Since the left button is a primary button it gets used quite a lot thus the button fails at some point in time.

    Either the button has broken or the spring mechanism has broken.
    Don't worry it can be repaired, claim warranty support if you can. The laptop needs to be partially disassembled and the buttons inspected. The button may need replacing.

    Take care!

    Just connected a HF 225 monitor to Vista Home 32 bit. No real manual; install CD does nothing. When I press the Menu or Brightness buttons on the monitor I get no response to keyboard or mouse clicks to...

    They only include the Win7 driver on the CD. I'm surprised it doesn't work with Vista. Did you try going into the HF225_win7 directory and clicking on infinstallWIN7?

    The monitor menu doesn't work with the keyboard. You have to press a combination of the three buttons to the left of the on-off button. It's not very intuitive.

    Toshiba Satellite ?Vista home?Start button not working

    > clicking on START has no response.

    Have you tried a different mouse, just in case that the LEFT button on the mouse is malfunctioning?

    Does pressing the "Windows-flag" key on your keyboard (between CTRL and ALT, on the left) cause the same effect as clicking the START button?

    Start Internet Explorer.
    Click Tools.
    Click Internet Options.
    Click Connections
    Check that your PPoE entry is present and is set to "automatic".
