Magic Mouse not "right clicking" after 10.7.5

After updating to OS 10.7.5, my Apple Magic Mouse stopped right clicking.


I logged in as root, dumped everyone's plists for the mouse, as well as zapped the pram, but still cannot right click.


Any ideas?

The solution BartHmr offered worked for me:

Hi,


I had the same problem after performing a clean install of Lion.

(Mighty Mouse was working fine after updating from Tiger and so on)

After moving /System/Libraries/Extensions/AppleHIDMouse.kext to the dustbin and rebooting, everything works fine.

Hope this helps!

Til von Ruemont's post (page 7) is the answer that fixed it. I had just done a clean install of 10.7.5 on a Mac Pro I had just gotten off ebay. My Macbook Pro which had been upgraded had the proper files. How could Apple not yet have just simply provided those two files in an update? Thanks again Til. I wish I could mark that post as "This one solves the problem"
