Right mouse button keeps quitting.

For some reason my right button has developed a problem of stopping all functions on a semi regular basis. It's not the mouse that has the problem. If I go to the top of an IE page and attempt to paste a site nothing happens. I CAN right click on what is in the banner and it will highlight, but if I right click again to drop down the paste menu I get nothing. This has been happening off and on for a few days and is driving me nuts. Sometimes if I shut down another program it will work for a while only to start up again, other times shutting down other programs will do nothing. Any suggestions?

I just shut down Outlook Express and now it works again.
There are times Internet Explorer will take over the mouse too, sounds very similar.
Just quit again and I have opened no other programs since shutting down Outook Express.

Did you ask your frogs? Maybe one of them scared your mouse.
The frogs do have a big mouth.:)
Frogs don't like mice. :)
Quick, you'd better run and hide before AirRocker or Canius Lupus come around with their famous one-liner...

what version of IE and OE? How full is OE
IE 7.0.5....
OE needs weeding out lots of old messages.

Working fine today after doing a reboot (which shouldn't be necessary).
