Paul H--

What context menu when you right click on what where? I thought the OP
meant an IE7 browser window. I don't understand then, the need for right
clicking and where it would be done.

Have you ever actually right-clicked in a browser window?

Yes Paul but I didn't look very well and it's Adare. Those are there on the
rt. click context--I have a lot faster way of doing most of them and I
explained it. But as I said and others have said, this biols down to that
his IE has some corrupted files if he can't do it, and I seconded the motion
for him to check his browser addins by disabling and then adding them one by
one and also running what often fixes many IE problems, SFC.

If those don't fix it, I'd do a startup repair which does not have to be
confined in Vista no boot situations. That should fix it.

Mr. Adare, actually I offered substantive constructive fixes. I don't see
any at all under your name and got thrown by the OP's term for browser
window but not that far, and I missed those guys on the right click context.
The key combos and dragging the "e" from the address bar are faster ways of
getting them done.

I have seen the google toolbar crash IE7,but not the behavior you discribe
although I don't doubt it might happen. I've had to uninstall and reinstall
the google toolbar but if it wont' work for him andis the culprit, there
are many ways to use google.

Actually I do get the point and if it isn't "google toolbar related" then
it's logical again, again to

1) Check the addins as described
2) Run SFC
3) Do a startup repair or run system restore from Win RE or F8's Adv
Options.

One of those should fix his problem with non-functionoing menu items on the
rt. click context menu browser window.

If this problem was caused by the Google toolbar, and in
this case it was as the OP has responded back that
removing the Google toolbar resolved his problem then none
of your suggested solutions would have accomplished
anything.
