My apps and other things refuse to acknowledge being clicked

[Ruinous Wraith]

So I first noticed it with Skype, then I uninstalled Skype and went to reinstall it and found it was on apps in general (BTW I have a laptop on Windows 8). It works just fine on the desktop, and navigational things in Skype and the store such as the back arrow or contacts are fine, but things like clicking on people in Skype (To chat with them) or clicking on apps in the store to open description don't work. I have tried my touchpad as well, same problem, so its not just the mouse (which is practically brand new). Any suggestions?
