Default Computer is screwed, cant click on anything


Hey,

I built a computer about six months ago, i turned it on today and it would not let me click on anyting. the mouse can still move i just cant click on anything, not even the start button. I've tried to reset it when it is booting but i cant find a reset option. Becuase it freezes or wont let me click anything i cant do a system restore fromthe system tools.

oh yeah because it is custom made i dont a restore cd.

what can i do.

Reboot and go into safe mode by toggling the F8 key during the initial booting.
When in safe mode update all your driver files and run your anti-virus and amlware/spyware tools to clean out your system

You don't need a mouse to use your computer.
You can remove and re-install the mouse from the device manager and/or run system restore by navigating with the keyboard.
