    Its a feature included in the driver software. Look for something called "Sticky Borders" or something similar and turn off.

    If you havent already done so, uninstall the current drivers and download/install these.

    You may also wanna try a firmware update.

    I blame Vista. :mad:

    Jokes aside, for the left and right click issue, just reset the mouse to be right handed. That should switch the buttons back.
