This article was previously published under Q136592 SYMPTOMS

pressed the right mouse button. For example, when you click an icon with
the left mouse button, the context menu may open.
CAUSE
This problem can occur sporadically and unpredictably when many mouse
events occur at the same time. For example, this problem may occur when
you are running several programs at once, or if your computer has a slower
processor and you release both mouse buttons at once.
RESOLUTION
When this problem occurs, click and release the right mouse button to
cause the mouse to behave correctly again.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95/98.
