after about 20 minutes of viewing pictures and right clicking on them to
enlarge them at an Internet site my right mouse button stops functioning and
the only way to get it to work again is to reboot my computer.. i never had
this problem with windows XP, only since I bought a new computer with Vista
installed... HELP !

Hi,
This might be a cache problem. Clear your Temporary Internet Files from
Internet Options> General>
Browsing History> Delete> (next screen) Delete files. Also, set the size of
the cache to 60-80 MB... Internet Options> General> Browsing History>
Settings.

Next, you may have an incompatible browser add-on.
See: http://www.enhanceie.com/ie/troubleshoot.asp
for troubleshooting information.

Hope this helps,

Hi,
[Guesses]
1. Do you have another mouse you can try?
2. Check the website of the mouse manufacturer for updated drivers.
3. If this happens consistently at about 20 minutes, leave add-ons disabled
for at least 30- 40 minutes of browsing. See if an add-on is causing IE to
use more memory than usual.

Don,

Thanks, but that does not work either, I tried reloading IE7 and now I get
an annoying pop up window wanting to run adobe flash player.....
