Problems with mouse/touchpad clicks,drag

Question

I'm using a Lenovo ideapad s145 laptop. On startup it makes a single beep sound and displays some basic system information like BIOS version, RAM, L2 cache, CPU etc. It disappears within one second and proceeds the startup. When I try to right click with mouse ir touchpad, the option just blinks and disappears. When I click on any search boxes it also blinks and disappears. Drag option is not at all working. But, when I press any key on keyboard the above issues are solved except the drag issue. When I reboot again the issue will be there. Can anyone suggest me a solution?
