Does the "dash" menu come up when you click it?

I ask because on my older Dell desktop system I ran into a problem going
from 10.04 to 12.04 -- I had to turn off the accelerated video because of a
strange bug with the cheap graphics card I had in the Dell, which caused
the Unity HUD menu to not work -- it just flashed and nothing appeared, so
I couldn't use it at all. When 14.04 came out, they removed the option to
"downgrade" to the 2D graphics driver, so I ended up finding a better video
card so I could keep using Ubuntu.

Also, have you tried a different mouse?

If you still think it's a mouse click adjustment issue, you can TRY using
the control panel. If you cannot even click THAT menu, type ctrl-alt-T and
in the terminal type (note the hyphens and space):

$ unity-control-center mouse

Maybe you can get the clicks to work that way.

Also try creating a new user account. It could be some cruft from the
previous installation isn't working so well with the upgraded Ubuntu. If a
new account works fine, there's probably a hidden directory or two you can
remove to get it working right.
