I'm sorry to laugh, but I've been in stitches here. It is just like I was when trying to sort out a friend that I'd set up with a PC.
She rang to say that the mouse wasn't working properly.
After much chat, I evventually diagnosed that she had the buttons reversed. i know that it is an option for left handed people, but couldn't figure out how on earth she had managed to switch it over.
I said I would ring back once I had done as you have and made a step by step recovery procedure for her.
I never thought to ask something as basic as "which way round are you holding the mouse ?" She had the mouse back to front. So left was right and so forth. LOL

this is the drop down menu button you need. Haven't marked it (hate using paint) but you'll see the icon used for the "non plug and play drivers"

fn insert usually works quite well too.

the old ways are usually the best, just sometimes folk remove my favourite shortcut keys.

Great growing up in the eighties you learn not to rely on the mouse (schools never had 1 per computer until late nineties), saves fiddling with a laptop pointers or plugging in a mouse.
