This will sound like a stupid question but I have to ask.. are you double clicking on the left button?? We need to hear the basics first.

Are your mouse buttons swapped by any chance?

if the mouse buttons were swapped, the right mouse button wouldn't present the menu.

does the item become selected when you left click? does anything respond to left clicking?
