Title: Not sure where to post this, computer prob.
Post by: fuzeman on August 20, 2005, 04:16:03 PM

This is on my old Win98se system that's being passed on down the line. I've been removing stuff and geting rid of crud and all of a sudden I notice a rather large change one time I power it up to start sorting stuff.
When I right click my mouse to get the menu to open a 'NEW' menu it's not there. The new is gone, not greyed out but gone altogether. I happened to save a 'new text' and 'new bmp' file so I can cut-n-paste to them but as organizing in folders I'm out of luck.
Any suggestions or help?

Search term 'Missing new "right click"'

That job won't be finished until you get rid of W98 itself.

Chairboy , made the change and it didn't do anything, still no 'new' available.
