Hi alady lion,
Since that problem just started happening recently, try a System Restore.
How to use Windows XP System Restore:

Afterwards, please reinstall your game before playing it on the restored system, as
the game is obviously corrupting the integrity of your Windows installation.

|| Hi alady lion,
||
|| It sounds exactly as if your right and left mouse buttons have been switched.
||
|| You would wwitch them back in your Everquest ingame settings if it was only
|| happening inside the game, however since it's also happening on your desktop
|| you need to switch them back this way, and then run a Virus scan since there
|| is one non-malicious (joke) virus out there that could cause this behaviour.
||
|| Click START > Control Panel > Mouse (in Classic view)
|| Click Restore defaults if you have that option in your Button Tab or
|| manually set your Left Button to "Click (default) and your
|| Right Button to "Right Click"
||
|| The above instructions may differ slightly depending on your mouse drivers.
