Inventory Cursor Issues

First time out of the vault
I've been playing fallout 1, had been doing great, until I found out I needed to get some information off one of the data disks. Apparently (according to everything I've been able to find) when you access your inventory, right clicking switches cursors between different actions for each item. I can switch between move (the hand) and examine (the cursor) but don't have a third option, which I would assume is use.

I can't think I'm the only person with this problem, and it's keeping me from reading any of the data disks I've gotten during the game. I've been able to use most other items by placing them in the weapon slots and then using them from the main UI, but I can't do that with the disks. Any suggestions?
 
Switch to Examine mode, left-click on the item, and then select the Hand from a selection menu that opens.
 
even if you dont have the use option, you should have 3 options. drop, details & cancel.

the use icon is an open hand, the drop icon is a hand facing down, the details icon are the binocs, the cancel icon is the sign.

are you sure you didnt make a mistake? how about stimpacks & the like? you cant use these either from your inventory?

keep in mind that some disks cannot be used.
 
Just left clicking switches modes, yes, but when in the Hand mode, press the left mouse button and keep it pressed. You'll get a menu, from where you can select the hand again, which equates use.
