Hello everyone!
I'm new here. I have Windows Vista Ultimate running on a TOSHIBA laptop. Recently i have internet wirless connection. Now while i'm browsing internet with IE7 browser at some stage if i want to right click on any link it won't open the context menu or nothing happen. then when i come back to desktop and try to right click on anything nothing appear. i try to press CTRL+ALT DEL to bring the task manager to see if there any suspicious program running but the task manager aslo doesn't open. its a strange problem.. i've never seen in Windows XP. Can anybody please help me with this?
thank you!

Hi halim,

welcome aboard.

Please read this article from Microsoft How to optimize or reset Internet Explorer 7 and try some of the suggestions for fixing and repairing Internet Explorer.

If none of the suggestions work then you can try this to repair any corrupted IE7 files....

insert your Vista disc
right click the CMD in the start menu, run as administrator.
then type SFC /SCANNOW

hope this helps,

regards

Steve

Halim,
I have the same exact problems on my Sony Vaio. It seems to happen when I have more than 5 or 6 windows open (which shouldn't be happening since I have 2 G of memory.

Have you figured out the problem?

I don't believe that it is an IE7 issue (as Steve suggested) because it is occuring in all applications. I think the finger points back to wonderful Vista.

Let me know if you've made any progress.

Thanks,
Marshall

Oh.. i wanted to add this on. i suspect its a problem with shell or windows explorere. cause when this happens i can't open my computer either.. can't open any application, ctl+alt+del works but task manager doesn't show up. i installed Antivirus and since then it didn't happen again. Do u have any virus protections on your PC?
