Right click menu missing

Post by psplisa »

Hi all,

I am using PSP8, a very old version from 2004. It still works great and I have it here at work on Windows 7. Recently, I noticed when I have the in-program browser open, when I right click on an image, the context menu is missing. All I get when I right click an image is a blank little box. I've tried the usual fixes aside from uninstalling/reinstalling. It was suggested by a fellow PSPer to try resetting to default by holding the Shift key and opening the desktop icon, but that didn't do anything either. I don't know if some Windows update caused the issue (the rest of my computer is fine), a .dll file went missing, or what.

If anyone has a suggestion, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Lisa

It's been a while since I used PSP 8, but you could always customize menus, so you should bge able to reset. Have you tried that?

Start customize -right click just about anywhere and select Customize. Or menu View/Customize
Click on the Menu tab.
On the right side of the dialog box you see Context Menus. Select the context menu that you're missing from the drop down menu.
Click on the Reset button.

With any luck that should do it.
Good luck.

OMG!!! Thank you so much, it worked!!! I had to try several combinations and did several "resets", so I'm not sure which combo worked! :shock: :o But it worked. I've copied and pasted your response to my Notepad and saved it in case it ever happens again lol.

Thanks again, I appreciate your help!
