Right click->save as not working...

[Ksandra]

Iono how I always manage to do the most bizarre stuff on my computer...


Anyway, my laptop's right clicker is giving me issues (the one below the pad, it is not an attached mouse). I can seem to use it normally, except I can't right click things to get the drop down menu of "save as" or "back" "forward" etc. it seems to respond to anything else it needs to do however.

Thoughts? ;_;

Particular sites not allowing this, not working in your browser, or is it simply not working everywhere? See if you can find the options for your trackpad and see what you can do with the right mouse button. Change what it does and see if you can use it at all. Can also try setting a "right click" zone on the track pad and tap it as you would click (this assumes you installed the exact drivers for the track pad instead of relying on windows default). If it works in the places you're currently having trouble, then maybe the button itself is borking out. Last resort, reboot, see if anything changes, or try a disc bootable OS and see if it can use the right click properly.

If it's not browser specific this is usually a virus/registry issue. Google around and you will find the registry values that you need to change to get that working again.

I ended up rebooting it and it seems to work now. I'll post if it happens again. Hopefully it was just a fluke.
