    Can't right click in Start Menu


    Whenever I right click on a program in the start menu, nothing happens. I just did a fresh install of Windows 7 from a SD Card. I don't know what the problem could be, I've never had this issue before, if anyone can point me in the right direction to fix this I would be greatly appreciative.


    Thanks a mill,

    hello and welcome to the forums:)

    try this to start with

    Perform a SFC Scan

    1. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow

    2. Type the following command, and then press ENTER:

    sfc /scannow

    A message will appear stating that 'The system scan will begin'. Be patient because the scan may take some time

    3. If any files require a replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Windows 7 DVD for this process to continue

    4. If everything is okay you should, after the scan, see the following message "Windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations"

    5. After the scan has completed, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

    Make sure that you have the following option ticked in the task bar and start menu settings: 'Enable context menus and dragging and dropping"

    (it's under customize area.)

    that was the problem, for some reason the box for 'Enable context menus and dragging and dropping" had become unchecked.


    Problem fixed thanks everyone for your help
