I'm on my sony viao PCG SR17K laptop (3lbs woo woo) but for some reason it's being retard (no way!)...

I can't RIGHT CLICK in internet explorer. Whenever I want to open an image in a new window it just WON"T right click. I can right click in the OS, but in IE I just can't. Anyone know if its disabled or something? It's pissing me off. I Can't even right click links to "Open in new window".

ARGH.

There are sites that disable that.

It could also be a lack of resources.

Universal PC FIX: (4-1-1995) The best way to fix any problem with a windows compatible machine goes as follows:

Open nearest window.

Make sure windows is larger than computer.

Unplug all devices from computer.

Lift computer out of it's space.

Throw compuer out window.

most laptops have a button in the lower right corner of the keybard between the alt and ctrl, one is the windows logo, the other is a mneu.. use the menu button for a right click.

you said it was limited tro IE only?

What is a right click?

One button should be enough for anyone - try control-click like on a real machine.

"... in 6 months if WMD are found, I hope all clear-thinking people who opposed the war will say "You're right, we were wrong -- good job". Similarly, if after 6 months no WMD are found, people who supported the war should say the same thing -- and move to impeach Mr. Bush." - moki, 04/16/03
