When I right click on a picture the save as box does not come up anymore. I', using a lap-top and have external mouse and touch pad, neither works. I know the DIFFERENCE between what pics I can load. It stopped working for about 2 weeks and then started again for a day and then stopped. I've looked everywhere I know but can find no place to fix. HELP PLEASE as this is the way I can get pics of my Grandkids from FacebookWhat Browser are you using?> if it's IE try firefox or googlechrome. Works on mine. That might not be the PROBLEM but that's my best guess lol. I don't have IE so I can't test whether it works or not, but IE is usually the source of the problem (from what I've heard). Is it just on facebook or have you tried to save as any other pictures on the internet? You can test it by finding a picture of something random on google and then trying to save it.I use Firefox. I've tried on web pics, total. I tried using on different browsers but nothing works. That's what has got me stumpedCould be a driver problem. HMM, you may need conformation on this because I cannot guarantee it will work. You may be able to uninstall your mouse driver and then reinstall it. If you want to try, go to device manager and then mouse - you can uninstall your external mouse and it will prompt you to install it again when you plug the usb thingy back in. Or you can disable/re-enable both or uninstall the touch pad and it should reinstall on restart (maybe) or update the drivers if possible.
This might fix the problem even if it's not the cause.If you cannot right click anywhere (such as the desktop, or in other browsers and programs) then it's possible your mouse is simply broken.Thanks masmace. You were not exactly correct but you got me thinking so went to control and brought up programs. I noticed that their was only one mouse program listed and it was for the touch pad so figured they were connected.  Went to control panel home, brought up mouse and saw that both the touch pad and external were on so turned off the touch pad an what do you know, I got my save as box back. Sometimes we exsperenced people forget the simple things, like just turning something on or offRight lol. No problem.
