My Right Click (Cut, Paste, Copy, etc.) does not work in My Pictures but works fine in Photo Gallery. I have run RegClean and reset defaults but no luck. My PC is an HP Pavillion, IE7, Vista 64. Any ideas what to do? Thanks for any help.

Welcome
You are experiencing a common problem. Try to mark off what you want to copy and then hit hit cntrl c. When you want to paste try cntrl v. Sometimes the software does not work with a right click.

Thanks for your reply. I tried your suggestion and it did not work, however, it made me think of another option so I opened the picture, clicked the drop down File box, clicked Copy and then was able to Paste to another folder that way. My problem is that I am used to moving lots of photos into My Pictures and then gathering groups of a dozen or more and doing a Cut and Paste to a previously created folder. The File drop down does not allow Cut and this copy one at a time plus going back and Deleting one at a time would be a pain. Is there any know way to re-install My Pictures and or run a fix?

Richard, FYI, when I tried Control C, My Pictures locks up and I must stop it by Task Mgr. This is the same thing that happens when I try to Right click(lock up).

Have you tried to mark off the pics that you want tomove and then drag the first one to the proper destination, they should all follow. That is what I do when transferring my photos to the computer.

Yes, the mark off and then drag and drop works. Thanks very much. If you ever hear of a way to fix the right click issue, please post.
