Primary Mouse Button

This issue seems to be cropping up for many people. I have an HP Pavilion and have followed all the advice but the primary button is set as "right" but randomly defaults to "left" even though the setting is showing right. It can work for a while and
then changes. How can I get this sorted? As a left handed person is it really inconvenient and uncomfortable to have the left button as the primary. I have tried resetting it under mouse options and have used the reset option on the touchpad settings which
does make it work as a right primary button intitially but then it changes back whilst I am using it.
