Solved Windows 8.1 changed mouse controls.

The only thing that has changed is that I upgraded my OS recently.

I have an 2.4 GHz Wireless Laser Mobile Mouse. Originally after the upgrade, the left button caused right clicks and vice versa. I found a workaround by changing the Windows 8 settings to "Right Primary Button" while in the control panel, the device is configured for the left hand. If I select "Left..." and right respectively, I get the reverse. The scroll wheel also does nothing when clicked. Sometimes when I read articles I click it so I can move my mouse up and down to scroll the page without pushing any keys.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mouse driver and HID driver with no luck.

Please help.

Did you search the manufacture's website for the latest driver?

I removed the HP Mouse Suite software and that seems to have done the trick.

Oh, so the HP software isn't compatible. Did you try reinstalling in compatibility mode?

I have a MS wireless LASER Arc mouse that acts up now and then.

No I haven't tried that, but it's not really necessary other than to pair the mouse with the USB dongle. Since mine are paired already, I can go without it and use the Windows mouse settings. Thanks, though!
