So you have the same result with USB input as Ps-2? I would wonder why you would run Ps-2 rather than USB.

Question
Left mouse button no longer will open a Desktop shortcut
For years everything worked fine. Then, without any obvious notice, the left mouse button will no longer open a Desktop icon. I have to use Open under the right mouse button. To get to the Control Panel, I have to do Run: Control Panel. Interestingly, once I'm in the control panel, the left mouse button will work to launch selections there.
I'm using a Logitec RX-1500 mouse, which has a USB terminal but I run it thru an adaptor for the round plug-in. My Kensington mouse now has the same effect I describe above.
I have read of this problem before but never heard of the solution. Has anyone had this?

The Dell PC has a PS-2 port on the back. Running the mouse, w/ USB terminal, thru an adaptor works. Using only the USB terminal and a USB port on the PC does not work. The only what this mouse will work w/ this PC is as I stated. The driver is PS/2.
