Default The mouse gives me a box saying 'what's this?' can I stop it?

using Excel I can only use shortcut keys as the mouse doesn't work in its
normal capacity. It's as if I am pressing its right hand button but I'm not
and if I press on a cell it just gives me a box saying 'what's this?' How
can I change the mouse to work in the normal way so I don't have to use
shortcut keys.

Click the START button on the Windows TASK BAR, click CONTROL PANEL,
double-click the MOUSE icon and verify that you have not switched button
assignments. If you have, right click the check box to reset button
assignments back to normal
