Help? Technical issue with my mouse - 5/21/2010 2:11:16 PM

Okay so i go to work yest my computer was working fine. When i get home my puter is off (which happens occassionally because power flips on and off - but have good surge protector). I turn on my computer and my mouse seems fine -- moves clicks to open programs and will even click in the box and allow me to type. However, my mouse will highlight links but not let me actually click on them. I have to right click and open. It won't let me hit my arrow key to open my history in my address bar etc.

Anyone have any ideas what is going on? I turned my puter off and on about 4 times and does the same thing. It also won't let me click shut down on my start button -- i have to go into the task window and click shut down.

Thanks for any advise or thoughts.

No help but I spent three days running virus scans, registry cleaners, malware etc before it dawned on me it wasn't the computer that was slow, but the battery in the mouse was dying.
