When one of my users tries to left click on her mouse button to use her "start" button on the desktop, it will not work. It does not even highlight. The right button works on it and the mouse works on all of the other icons on the desktop. We usean NT system.

sounds like someone has setup the mouse as a left handed mouse - goto control panel and select the mouse icon. You should be able to get it from there. Good luck

It could be a few things,

Mouse misconfiguration (view it's config in the control panel)
Mouse driver problem (re-install the driver)
Windows bug (maybe re-install or update the service pack)

It could also be a security policy that was applied (*.pol).

hope this helps

Check to see if the problem occurs on the same system with an administrator level user logged in. If it does not, you likely have a user policy in effect that is restricting access to the start button, or you have a corrupt user profile.
