Very Unusual Mouse Problem

I'm using a Logitech orbital mouse and having an unusual problem. When I right click icons on my wife's desktop it works perfectly...opens the app right up. On my desktop I have to right click repeatedly to get apps to open. What could the difference be? It's obviously not the mouse because it works perfectly on my wife's desktop and very sluggish on mine. I do have quite a few more icons on my desktop but it's never mattered before. This just started suddenly yesterday. I did take the ball out and clean it, cleaned the little bearings and the "window" inside with damp Q-tip. Bottom line: mouse works perfectly on one desktop and sluggish on the other.

Go to search by the start button, type device manager and update the mouse driver.
To update, go to the website of your mouse manufacturer and download the driver.

It says the best driver for the device is already installed. (I had already done this).
All other functions of the mouse work perfectly. It's just the double click on the icons on my desktop that is not functioning properly

Forget what the windows updater says, it gives you a generic driver. Try the website.
If that does not work, make a full anti virus scan and download and make a scan with the free malwarebytes.

Installed latest driver, LogiTech SetPoint 6.30. Problem still the same. This just seems crazy...that it would function perfectly on one desktop and not on the other!!???

Scan with malwarebytes, anti virus.
If negative go to search type event viewer, go to administrative in left panel and look for cause.

Try another mouse in the problem pc

I'm curretnly doing the scan with MBAM professional version. This app usually catches any viruses, worms, rogue type stuff, etc. before they cause any problems. I also have WSE running. Neither showed any problems in history. I just looked at the event viewer (I must admit I'd never even heard of this). Is it normal to have numerous warnings and errors listed here? I have many, dating back to 2009.

Scan with MBAM just completed...no malicious items found.

Try another mouse in malfunctioning computer

I will, but let me clarify...we're talking about one computer and the same mouse. It's just malfunctioning when I go to my desktop (Vista 32 bit)...

Understood, but lets get this solved by elimination if nothing else
