    Right Click not working

    I have Office 2010, I can no longer right click on a spread sheet and get any options. I have repaired the installation, I have removed and reinstalled Excel, and I have removed the add-ins.

    The program works fine in safe mode.

    I do not have ANY VBA programming.

    Thanks in advance for ANY help.
    Wayne

    Hi Wayne555,

    Have you checked your mouse settings in your OS?
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.

    Thanks MarvinP

    I had tried a couple of these links already and still no luck.

    This one has me stumped. I have disabled all add-ins. I know it is not VB code because it happens on every worksheet including new ones.

    Works fine in safe mode. SO i figure it has to be something loading when Excel loads. Is there anyway to tell what is loading with Excel?

    Thanks
    Wayne

    Re: Right Click not working

    Ok, It sounds like one of your drivers is grabbing keystrokes. In Windows 7 press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and get to the Task Manager. This will list (on the second tab) all the processes that are running. You can click on a process and END it. After ending the process, test to see if you can right click.

    I got a FitBit that connects to my USB port. I also have a Garmin driver that thinks the FitBit is a GPS device and they seem to overlap types of information. I've suspected that one of these drivers keeps my space and enter keys from working. I need to test this.

    If you boot in Safe Mode - Look at the Processes that are running in the background and filter your list down to discover which driver is doing the Right Click damage.

    Just to confirm, when i say safe mode, I am talking about running excel in safe mode not the OS.
