From time to time I can't right-click on Web pages. If I close a page or three I can again. Is this an IE problem or perhaps something else? It's annoying as hell.

Try a system restore.

That does work, but it's a pain to have to do it! Would using another browser help do you think? (Why does it happen?)

Try these at Kellys Korner

First: #56 - click 'enable' in the right hand column

If that doesn't help try #175 in the right hand column.

I'm guessing you are using Windows XP.

If you tried it in a different browser it maybe would narrow down the cause.

If you tried FireFox you would probably stay with it too.

Are you sure it's actually stopped working, not just incredibly slow to repsond?

What happens is I can't right-click.

Sometimes I also can't click on the whatsits at the bottom of the page (the things that say "4 IE pages open" etc) to bring up a page. Then I have to minimise every page and more often than not reboot the system.

I've done a thorough bug scan already. Is this a common XP thing?

I'll try that out thanks. Yes it's XP.

Just download firefox and you'll never have crappy IE related problems again.
