First try it on another computer to verify that the hardware is working and it's not a reprogrammed thing. Perhaps just unplugging it, rebooting with it not attached and then REPLUGGING it might work too as it might reinstall itself if it's a driver problem. It's possible that the right click switch is broken. Or it may have been reprogrammed in the driver. Or maybe it's got some dirt or foreign matter underneath the button so it can't complete the click motion.
