Problems with right click/open in new window
Since the January update, I have noticed significant problems using right click on a link/open in new window. Using Win2K and IE6. Anyone else noticed it? Gets to the point where new windows do not open, or no menu comes up on right click.

Can you right click on the desktop or elsewhere in Windows? If not, a check of your mouse properties in Control Panel may help.
Otherwise I have only this suggestion to offer:
A temporary work around for the IE issue would be to use the shift button on your keyboard while clicking a link. This will open the link in a new window using the left mouse button.
Take care not to hold the right hand shift button down too long as it activates Windows Sticky Keys which can be a pain to undo.
Good Luck!

Doesn't work
Do a Control-N to open a second instance of your current window, then just left-click on the link in that new window.
No right click works in IE when the problem occurs, even copy for highlighted text. However CTRL+C still works
