Can't right-click in IE7 or IE8

[danlloyd]

Hi everyone,

Hoping someone can help with this very frustrating problem I have had for a few weeks now... Whenever I try to 'right-click- it never works and just makes a small 'ding' noise at me. This happens every time, on every website.

I have googled some common problems and most problems seem to be fixed by opening IE without add-ons. However when I do this I still cannot right-click.

In desperation to get my right-click back I upgraded to IE8 expecting that it would have been fixed, however it continues I have tried Safari and it all works fine, it also works perfectly in every other program - just Internet Explorer is the problem...

Would appreciate any suggestions if anyone has come across this before!
BTW - am running Vista 32 now with IE8

Thanks
Dan
