    For some reason I can't right click on any the items on my start menu. Not even computer or pictures ect. I just get nothing on click. Windows 7 install in just 2 week old. Any ideas why?

    I had this same problem when i did a fresh install.
    on your Task Bar, right click to get the menu to open. Go to "properties" on the menu and when that opens, click on the "start menu" tab. Click the radio button next to the "Clasic Start Menu" then hit the "customize" button. When that opens, you'll see the menu down below called "Advanced Start menu options." Put a check mark in the box next to "enable dragging and dropping." Click "ok" and "ok". :D

    Haha thanks. I kept going to that menu, because I noticed it started happening right after I editing the look on the start menu in there.
    I went to Properties-->Start Menu --> Customize, and it was right there. I was on Win 7.
