Right mouse button constantly clicking

    My new Acer Laptop 7551 recently acquired a problem I can't find any information on.

    The right mouse button almost constantly fires. I will be watching Youtube and that right button menu will appear. I hit escape and it will come right back. I get aggravated and click in a frenzy.
    This will stop it for a few seconds and then it will start right up again.

    The odd thing about this is that it happens whether or not the USB mouse is plugged in, whether or not I'm in Linux or Windows 7 (dual-boot system), whether or not the trackpad is disabled, just all the time.

    I have installed the latest drivers found on Acer's website but no luck. Of course, this started happening after the period in which Newegg would allow me to return it had passed.

    You should be able to go through Acer to get it looked at if Newegg won't take it back. It's strange, but since the laptop is new, I'd suggest checking with Acer on service as this sounds like a hardware problem if it's happening on multiple OSes.

    I'm searching for a script or macro program which pushes the 4th or 5th mouse button every 5 seconds.

    This script or macro program is for a friend who uses Windows 7 on an Asus notebook. I cannot try this because I use opensuse 11.0. I have googled but haven't found anything.

    You should be able to write a script to do that using AutoHotkey or AutoIt.

    Is it for a website? Then try the iMacros for Firefox addon.
