Hi.
I just upgraded IE 7 to IE 8, but when i tried to 'right-clicking' on a randomly page it was unable(exp: right-clicking on a link opens a window saying Open in a new Window; Open in a new Tab...;Properties) or even if u try to save an image right-clicking that's impossible.
So exixts any way to enable this or just the new on IE8 doesn't have it?!!!

Thanks.

Does this only happen on certain pages or all web pages?
If it's just that one page then the author of the page probably used some Javascript code to disable the right click menu.
Some sites do this in a misguided attempt to stop people from saving the images and/or source code from the site when you can always use the view/page menus to do the same thing.
Some browsers like Mozilla Firefox will let you disable the ability of web pages to disable the context menu but that has the unintended consequence of two menus appearing when you use sites like Yahoo Mail that show their own context menu on right click.

I was tryin IE 8 (without Add-on) in System Tools n guess what, right-click menu worked! so I knew that the problem is in Add-on then I disabled a suspected (Not Verified) add-on and this damn Right-Click Menu worked.

So MANY MANY THANKS TO ALL FOR HELP :)
