When I click on 'file', 'Edition', etc. in Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer, the menu drop-down appears to the right what I'm clicking on., making it sometimes difficult to get to the line on the drop-down list, I want to access.  He acted in this way for a while, but I think much about it until I was on a friends computer that do not have the problem.  Anyone know how I can fix this problem?  Running Vista Home Premium SP2 on a Toshiba Satellite A215-S4807 laptop.  Thank you!

It is perhaps a workaround for you...

If you leave space on the left of the screen, the drop-down list box on the left side.
Like this.. .notice that some of my desktop icons appear on the left where the space was.

    Problems with a right-click are generally caused by third-party programs that put an entry in the context menu. To resolve this, the easiest method is by disabling the extensions of third-party context menu with ShellExView free utility.

  • By clicking on tools on the toolbar brings up the menu drop-down instead of switching tools

    CS3 (real licensed copies), OS X 10.5, Cintiq 12WX - using keyboard shortcuts changes the active tool, but clicking on a tool in the tool bar with the mouse or stylus does not; Instead it shows the menu drop-down with associated tools - Polygonal Lasso, magnetic Lasso, etc. - and clicking with the mouse or stylus in an active window has no effect until a second click. It is absolutely infuriating bug, and I have better to do that swearing screaming at my computer when I have deadlines to meet. Can someone please tell me how CS3 accept 'by clicking on a tool' as ' switch so that the tool "rather than" drop-down menu view other versions of this tool? It took half a day of Googling to figure out how to fix these trash the last time it happened, and stupidly, I did not write the process.

    Your understanding of the "obsolete" is as poor as your understanding of 'help '. CS has done everything I need Photoshop CS2 and do still works very well on my Windows machine, CS3 is just what was common back when I had access to student discounts making it actually worth buying a new version of the program.

    I had already tried to reset everything that was possible to reset in Photoshop itself - and reinstall the drivers using another mouse and the Cintiq, and restart the computer - several times without success before finally discovering the source of the problem... which is that whenever the System for the mouse settings have been changed, CS3 distorts apparently any setting double-click outside the default as a Ctrl-click the equivalent of a right click Mac in Windows. Because the double-click speed has been changed, each time I left-button/single-clicked on anything in Photoshop, it had misinterpreted as a right-/ Ctrl-click the button instead, which is the normal command to put in place the drop-down menu with all the other partners of the tools.

    Reset the speed of the default double click in system settings solved the problem, so I'm CE marking as "assumed answered" in the hope that someone else running into the same problem on an old system might find with Google at least.

  • Cannot use my address bar. Press enter, nothing happens. Click on menu drop down and it will not go to the address

    Address bar does not work. Will not open search or site Web open, even when I click on addresses in the menu drop-down. I tried to start in safe mode and I tried Firefox refreshing. I even tried to reinstall Firefox. Any suggestions?

    I did a system restore, after seeing some other problems with my computer. Now, it seems to work correctly. I think that refreshing Firefox may not have worked until I did the restore, because he tried to open my previous session, even after rebooting. When I started after restoring the system, is no longer a bookmarked or saved passwords. So I'm not sure what I did than the fixed, but it seems to work now. Thanks for all the help

  • Firefox 4 the "Close tab" button is missing from the "File" menu drop-down

    In Firefox 4, the "Close tab" button appears not in the "file" pull down.

    This button appears in Firefox 3.6.16 but is now gone.

    I need when I have two windows open, each with one tab open and I want to close a window.

    The only option presented to me is "Quit", that closes both windows...

    It would be good [if they insist on the order being missing] to have SOMETHING beyond the CTRL-W command [which fortunately works again]. I thought it was a windows application and not BACK. I hope that the command is available in a menu drop down, especially because it has a long history of existence in a rational place.

    It will be interesting justify how to remove a menu command dropdown is somehow "better".
