Right-clicking doesn’t work
Question:
Hi Tony
I have Windows Vista Ultimate. For some reason right-clicking Computer has no effect, so how do I enter the product key?
Regards
Peter
Answer:
Well, that’s a weird one. I assume you can right-click other things?
Well, there’s another path to open the System control panel:
1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click System And Maintenance.
3. Click System.
Now, you can access the Windows Activation settings at the bottom of the page.

Ah, sound like the Start Menu properties has context menus & drag-n-drop disabled. Right click Start- (yes, you should be able to do that) and select Properties, then Customize. Look for the “Enable context menus . . . ” option.

I have Windows Vista. I can’t open the Control Panel. When I click on it under the Start menu it comes up for a split second then disappears. Right clicking does not work either. Any ideas?

I am running 4 gigs of RAH but only 3.25 show up. Mgpu is an Nvidia 860GT with 256 of RAM and I guess that the rest of the misssing RAM goes to other allocations

Hi,,,,
Hope, you can help me. When I try to transfer the pictures from the software that supplied with my camera, I receive a transTWAIN.exe failure. What is that? How to troubleshoot it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I had this problem once, my computer runs windows vista by the way. It turns out that when I updated my itunes it also downloaded safari as well. As we all know most apple computers you can’t right click. So I just removed the program and presto, I had the use of my right click back.

Hi Tony,
How do you manage to take so much in, do you have any methods of study, tips, or habits that help you learn so much information?
Cheers,
Patrick.
