Mouse right click crashes any software

Last week I installed Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Bridge on my iMac Intel, and since then, everytime I right-click the mouse, the software crashes - any software. It happened already wth Safari, Preview, Adobe PS, Photo Mechanic, and even Finder! The left button works fine, but the right click crashes all.
I might say that I use a Samsung mouse, but since I have this problem I already tried changing to the Mighty mouse that came with computer when I bought, but it didn't work. Both had the same behavior.
Did anyone have the same problem before? Or have a clue how I can fix it?
Thanks in advance.

So, I finally did a fresh install of OSX on iMac, and the right click came back.
I think there was something corrupted on the system that somehow showed up after Adobe CS2. I reinstalled CS2 but up to now, no problems at all.
Thanks all for the insights, they all helped a lot!

  • Error KeyNote 09 with mouse right click over any text box

    Hi,
    I always receive the message "Unexpected error" when right click over any text box on Keynote 09.
    I have tried everythin (remove preferences, reinstall, ...) but nothing works...
    Any suggestion?
    Regards,

    Hi All,
    I found the culprit to be Babylon as well. Instead of removing Babylon, I changed the key combination to something funky like CMDOPT+SHIFTMOUSE click to call up the translator. After doing so, the Keynote right-click error went away.
    cheers

  • Mouse right-click function doesn't work in Bookmarks (Mac)

    I recently switched from PCs to Macs. No problem downloading Firefox and transferring old bookmarks and other settings, with one exception. With the PCs, when I right-clicked a particular bookmark under Bookmarks I got a series of 12 options (from Open, Open in New Window to Delete, Sort by Name, Properties). I used these a lot to delete bookmarks, change names, alphabetize lists, etc. I can now do most of these things under the Manage Bookmarks setting, but when I right click bookmarks now the new bookmark I click on just replaces the one on screen (ie, the right click does exactly what the left click does). I am using two different mice (Apple Mighty Mouse with Leopard, Microsoft Wheel Mouse with Tiger) and the right click function behaves as expected in other programs. Are these mouse right click Bookmark functions supposed to appear with the Firefox for Mac? If so, any ideas how to resolve my problem?

    Can someone explain to me why it's possible in Chrome on Mac, but not on Firefox? This is my 2nd biggest complaint about FF on the Mac, only surpassed by missing favicons in bookmarks. Chrome does both very well.

  • Whenever I right click on any link the link gets opened in new tab

    Whenever I right click on any link, along with context menu pop up (Correct property) the said link also gets opened in new tab (next to running tab in background : wrong property) Initially I thought it is due to one of the add-on installed on searching I find I installed add-on Right Link so I removed it still instead of just opening context menu the link also was getting opened as described so I reinstalled the add-on Right Link and tried to disable it via option provided by them (A status bar button, F2, a tool menu option) and confirmed in about:config that value of extensions.rightlinks.enabled;false, still could not stop opening link when I right click on it
    Now I wonder whether the said add-on is culprit or any other add-on is responsible for this behavior ?

    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    *Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    You can first strict the enabling to tab related extensions and extensions added by security software.
    If you have many extensions then first enable half of the extensions to test which half has the problem.
    Continue to divide the bad half that still has the issue until you find which one is causing it.

  • My iMac mouse right click does not work now

    Hi all,
    My iMac mouse right click does not work now.  It was fine a couple of days ago. 
    Right click is definitely enabled, I have checked it several times.
    A Google search revealed that in Firefox it could be that I'm not using the latest version of Firebug.  I have auto updates on and Firebug is the latest version 1.11.3
    I use right click for correcting spell checked words, instead of a suggested correct spelling I get the 'open in a new tab' menu.
    In Firefox when I right click to open in a new tab I get the menu but it does nothing.
    It is driving me mad
    Any help will be greatly appreciated,
    Thank you
    P.S. thought it was suddenly working when I did the spell check in this post but it was the left click doign it....

    I don't use Firefox so I can't test it, but it might be something to do with a preference setting. Have a look at this link (ignore all the instructions), just look at the image of the preferences, there appears to be a setting in Javascript preferences relating to contextual menus. Check to see what your settings are:

  • Apple mouse right click function stopped working

    After 4 and a half years my Apple mouse right click function on my iMac stopped working.  However the mouse works perfectly on my other iMac.  The apple store said the problem is in the iMac.  Any ideas how to fix this?
    Thanks, jpm3577

    First log into another user account on your Mac and see if it work correctly there.  If not boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try there.  Also try another USB port on the Mac if it's a wired mouse.

  • Disable Mouse Right click inside Adobe Acrobat PDF plugin

    Hi All,
    We are rendering Adobe live cycle pdf file inside html object tag.
    I have disabled toolbar , navigation bar using navpanes=0&toolbar=0.
    But when mouse right click reenable the context menu again.
    So Is there any way to disable mouse righ click inside Adobe Acrobat PDF browser plugin?

    I had the same problem after updating Firefox to version 4.0 and Acrobat Reader to Version X. For me (Win XP) what solve the problem was deleting the Acrobat Reader Plugin (nppdf32.dll) in the Firefox plugin folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins). So now there is only one Acrobat Reader Plugin left namely the one in the Acrobat Reader plugin folder (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\Browser).

  • Magic mouse right click problem in Mountain Lion

    Hi!
    My Magic mouse right-click doesn't work in Mountain Lion! in previous OSes it was working properly (Leopard and Lion), but when I upgrated to Mountain, this problem occured.
    if you click anywhere on the magic mouse, it simply do a click, not a right-click anyway...
    I did a lot of searches and changes but the problem is still alive...
    somewhere suggested disabling "Secondary Click", then restart, and then enabling it. but nothing changed...
    somewhere suggested to remove two files named "com.apple.Bluetooth..." in /Library/Preferences, and then restart the system, but this not worked for me, too...
    I changed the "Secondary Click" to "Click on the left side" but nothing changed and the magic mouse did just clicking and not right-clicking!
    I wondered what can I really do to solve this problem?!
    any suggestion is appreciated...

    I still use the magic-mouse and still it's not stable. I've found theONLY way to overcome the rightclick is to make sure that you're NOT pressing anywhere else on the mouse (even touching) and only pressing at theTOP right-hand most corner.
    It's not the best resolution, but the best that Applecare could provide me with. I thinjk, because it's relatively new due to the new generation of capacitive touch devices that we all get the bugs/flaws.
    As like the iPhone, although an EXCELLENT device, and the various versions of OSX, we're going to be plagued eith bugs until a newer review comes out.
    The way I found out was to use BOTH tools (MagicPrefs and BetterTouchTool) together, and in both set the Rightclick sensitive area to a near nothing for system wide (non app specific).
    It does fail at times on some apps, and takes a few clicks, but 90% of the time it's cleared up.
    I somehow think that most developers (and yes its the developers not apple) that forget that we rest out palms on the mouse) and they don't filter out the events forrectly (i.e. a palm on the mouse is seen as a tap). Othere works well, for exmaple I use photoshop, which adapted well to the mouse. The majority of games, and including those (ESPECUALLY THOSE) flash mbased, don't like the mouse at all!

  • Right Click Crashes MSOffice apps

    I just bought another Macbook Pro.  This time it is the 13" Retina.  Whenever I right-click on any MSOffice 2011 app (Outlook or Excel or Word) I get the beach ball and the program stops responding.  I have to force quite and re-open.  I'm wondering if this is an issue with the Apple Mouse or something else.  I am tempted to buy a Logitech mouse and see if there is a difference.
    This is a brand new installation.  There can't be any rogue code yet.
    Thanks,
    Nick.

    C#
    //Code in startup
    SBO_Application.RightClickEvent+=new _IApplicationEvents_RightClickEventEventHandler(SetupRightClickEvent);

  • Function Keys and Mouse Right Click Stopped Working On New iMac

    I bought a new iMac a couple of days ago and everything was working fine until last night when I noticed that the volume up/down function keys and also the mouse right click no longer worked.
    For the mouse I tried turning off the right click option and back on again and also tried another mouse which has the same problem.  Both work ok on a MBP which I have.
    I have tried doing the normal SMC and PRAM resets which doesn't solve the problem.
    One program which I installed after I got the computer was Logmein which screwed up my audio settings.  After uninstalling that my audio settings are ok but I was wondering if the program could also have changed some other settings.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you checked the System/Keyboard preference pane to see if the Function key option is checked?
