    I have a Dell Inspiron 1520, and the right-click button plays up. The computer is less then three months old. What happens is when I turn the laptop on, it works fine, but after a while it begins to be "moody" and not work. If I click it nothing will happen.

    Anyway, my question is: how can I get it to work again without having to restart?

    Synaptics recently released a newer version of their driver. You can download it here. It might help.
