Right-Click " open in new window " function !

[Guest]

When I right-click a link on a web page and choose "open in new window"
nothing happens ! I can open the link with a regular left-click but not the
right ! Can anyone tell me how to fix this ?

First let me thank you taking the time to reply...Now I tried everything you
suggested to no avail but, it did help me eliminate many possibilities as the
source of the problem. After I tried all of your suggestions I decided to try
an repair installation with my XP Home disc to try and re-install a corrupt
file but that didn't work either so my next step was to question my security
software which is Mcafee security suite and through the process of
elimination found the culprit in there !!! The suite has an application
called " Privacy Service " !!! I don't know exactly how it was doing it but
when I disabled this particular app everything worked fine ! Again thank you
so much for the help !!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS
