Why can't I get the right-click menu in Internet Explorer?

Question

I can't right-click on a photo in Internet Explorer and get the options such as Save Image, etc. I'm getting this in IE8, so I disabled add-ons, which didn't work. I uninstalled IE8 and reinstalled it with my antivirus and antispyware off and it still won't work. It wouldn't even work in IE7 and I never had that problem before. I right-click on my desktop and get a menu, just not photos in Internet Explorer. Yes, it works in Safari and Firefox, which I have, but I also want it to work correctly in Internet Explorer.

Answer 1

The website itself might have a script that disabled the function. This is done to protect copyright or to get you to buy something



It will be disabled in firefox. opera and safari too

Answer 2

Weird. Some websites disable Right-Click so you can't steal their images; but if it's working in Safari or Firefox then it shouldn't be a problem.



Suggestion 1: Just use Firefox. Do you know how many viruses install themselves when you browse internet using IE?



Suggestion 2: Go into the source code, find the image, load the url and save it that way. That always works.

Answer 3

I 'm having the same problem just in the last couple days.
