right click problem

hey guys, i`m having issues with my mouse. the problem is when i got to right click to save a image or open a link in a new tab the right click does nothing. if i click a link with the left button sometimes it will open in a new tab. if i right click in my favourites it will work so i can open page in a new tab. it works fine on my desktop it just happens for saving online images and online embedded links.
i`ve run spyware scans and virus scans as well as restarting my pc and restore point but it does nothing. i`ve looked on my mouse settings and can see anything wrong there but it seems i`m missing something.
any help would be great

just waiting on the scan to finish, i`m running on the new ie9 and i`ve tried 2 different mouses now and thats the same. do you think it could be ie9 related?

i`m using webroot antivirus and search and destroy antispyware

ok i`ll give that a go

scan completed and nothing was found

i don`t really like firefox or chrome, maybe it`s because i`ve not given them time and i`m just so use to using ie
