    When I right click in any office 2010 application the menu comes up and then disappears very quickly. Any idea why this happens and how to fix it? I'm using Win7x64.

    Thanks.

    I know this may sound rather stupid, but is your ESC key working fine? I had this issue not to long ago where the ESC key was pushed in, and every right click menu would just go away.

    If that's fine, then I honestly have no idea, and could only suggest you reinstall it.

    You may be able to restore your mouse response in Word 2010 by deleting or renaming the Word 2010 data key in the registry

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Data with Word closed and allow Word to build a new one.

    My Esc key is ok and remember the right click menu problem ONLY happens in office not in windows.
