Internet Explorer / IE >> Right Click Context Menus do not work (IE7+)

Whenever I right clikc in IE7+, say to save a picture or something, the menu
appears but the mouse does not seem to actualy work on it. I cant highlight
any options. This is highly infuriating, does anyone have a fix

thanks

Internet Explorer / IE >> Right Click Context Menus do not work (IE7+) This is not happening for me - not much of a comfort I know, but at least it
shows that its not "normal" behaviour.

I've found that the best initial troubleshooting step is to run IE in no
add-ons mode to see if the problem recurs. If it does we can immediately
start looking at third party programmes interfering. If not, we can start
looking at a damaged IE installation.

Internet Explorer / IE >> Right Click Context Menus do not work (IE7+) My install of Vista RC1 does the same thing. With a right-click in IE the
menu pops up, but you aren't able to select any of the options - really
annoying hen you're selecting test on an web page to copy - had to remember
the keyboard shortcuts (been a while!). The right-click context menu works
in other applications such as Word and Photoshop. Anybody have any ideas!?!?
Thanks!

Internet Explorer / IE >> Right Click Context Menus do not work (IE7+) I also have this problem with RC1. I disabled the Google Toolbar for IE and
the problem went away. I am (or rather, was) using the newest version of the
Google Toolbar. I reported the problem thru the beta reporting mechanism.

Internet Explorer / IE >> Right Click Context Menus do not work (IE7+) Disabling google toolbar works but you can use the arrows on the keyboard to
select what option you want after you right click then enter to click
(annoying but I love my google toolbar!!!!!)
