Cannot use right click on web sites to use functions

I just got this new pc with Vista Premium 32 bit. Now I cannot right click on any web site or page while using Internet Explorer 7 to use any of the functions. However, it does work in Netscape and on the other pc in I.E. As I am totally inept with computer programs, could the problem be with the I.E settings? If so, how do I change that. I have looked and tried several functions, but can not get it to work. My pc is a HP a6418f I would appreciate all replies.

To make it clearer, this happens in I.E. 7 when I "right click" on my web site to look at properties or source of a picture for example. However, on a pc with Windows XP home it does work in I.E.7 it is therefore I believe it has something to do with Vista Premium.

It does work in Netscape and on the other pc in I.E. 7 As I am totally inept with computer programs, could the problem be with the I.E settings? or with Vista premium? My pc is a HP a6418f I would appreciate all replies.

Hi Johannes,

Welcome to the Forums.
If you are in any doubt as to where to post a question or comment, post it in the 'General Discussion' forum. The Administrators or Moderators will move it to a more suitable forum if necessary.
When you right click on a Web page, do you see this menu pop up?

yes, it does pop up, but when i go over it with the mouse it will not react to the click.

Hi Johannes,

Thanks for the reply. Can you post back with an attachment like I have done so that I can compare it with mine? I am specifically looking for active (dark) commands and inactive (greyed out) ones. To do this, open a new tab. Right click on a blank spot and then press 'PrtScn'. Open 'Paint' and press 'Ctrl' + 'v' to paste the image. Next, follow the instructions in the tutorial 'How to use the Snipping Tool in Vista' (link given below) to select the image and include it in your reply. This should give me (or someone else) a clue as to where the problem lies as this is the method I used to attach the image in my previous post.

How to use the Snipping Tool in Vista

Done with the edit, I can go over the black ones and it will still not do anything. It does when I open the web site in Netscape or on the other pc in I.E 7 which has Windows XP.
this is the one in Netscape



EDITED by Brink :
Johannes, you can include the image you uploaded to your post by clicking on the paperclip icon again and selecting the image.

Hi Johannes,

Did you try to reset IE ? (disables addons, restore default settings)

I did click on re set default, but did not delete the add on's I will do that now.

EDIT: Deleted all, set to default and restarted, but it is still the same

Very weird!
Just a thought can you search in the registry the word "restrictions" as a whole word which could be a key under a section of Internet Explorer ?

I will try to find it It does not let me upload the file (invalid file) I will make a jpg of it.

Do rename the log file with the txt extension and delete images when you edit your post.
