Nothing happens when I press the right button on the desktop

Hello,
I installed Windows 8.1 on my laptop a few months ago and since then it's  been working quite well. But lately there's one thing that has been bothering me - whenever I try to open the desktop menu by pressing the right button of my touchpad, nothing
will happen. It seems that it's loading, but in fact it never really loads. I consider this an inconvenience and would be glad if you find the time to answer me.

Hi Maria,
Could you make sure your touchpad is without problem?
First of all, I suggest you go to touchpad manufacturer's website to get the latest driver of your model for Windows 8.1.
If it's not helpful, you may have an incompatible Shell Extension installed.
I suggest you download and run Shell Extensions Viewer, with which you can see what's installed, and even methodically disable the 3rd party shell extensions (logging off and on again before testing).

  • I am trying to finishing downloading a free app i just "agreed" to and it says DownloadNow but nothing happens when i press the OK button

    I am trying to finish downloading a free app.
    I already agrred to the terms.
    the next says Download Now but nothing happens when I press the OK button

    Hi helpcmo,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your free app isn't downloading, first try restarting the iPhone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Next, you may want to verify whether the issue is due to the iTunes Store connection:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store

    If the behavior persists, try the remaining steps in our iPhone assistant:

  • TS4036 iPad issue: "This iPad hasn't been backed up in 12 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi."  Nothing happens when I press "OK" - the iPad is locked.

    The following message appears on my iPad screen "This iPad hasn't been backed up in 12 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi."  Nothing happens when I press "OK" - the iPad is locked. I can't use the "slide" feature to "unlock" the iPad either. What should I do?
    The iPad is connected to my laptop, so please send me instructions I can follow up on by using my MacBook Pro. Cheers!
    p.s. I don't know what iOS system I'm on and I can't access it since my iPad is locked. This is an iPad and not an iPad2.

    A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button for approximately 10-15, Seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. Release both buttons and await restart.

  • Compressor - nothing happens when I press submit

    I've just started using Compressor, I've been through the very useful tutorials which give a quick guide on encodeing files. Everything seems fine - uploading the file and dragging on the desired encoding but when I press 'submit' nothing happens, no matter how long I wait, the progress bar does not change and the time is always 'unknown. I am not doing it right? seems fairly simple. Any advice, I would be grateful for...

    Thank you for the response.  Nothing happens when I press the button or the space bar.  I have look in the Audio Hardware settings, and ensured that my speakers were selected.  I also tried using a headset and selecting it, same thing.  I get no audio at all.  I also am not able to record anything (not that I would want to until I could play back.)

  • Nothing happens when I press space

    I just downloaded Audition CC 2014, I used to have the installed version.  I'm trying to get started, but after importing a wav file, I find that nothing happens when I press the space bar to start the playback.  What could the issue be?

  • My satellite c675-s7200 is stuck on the windows resume loader and nothing happens when I press enter

    The resume loader is probably trying to resume from hibernation by reading the hiberfil.sys file.
    Press and hold the power button to turn off the computer.
    Does the same thing happens when you restart?
    Can you use the F2 key to access the BIOS?

  • Nothing happens when I click Closed Caption button in Advanced Audio Management

    Something fishy is going on in my Captivate 5 when I work with Closed Caption.
    I add closed caption text in the Slide Notes pane. Then I proceed to the Advanced Audio Management screen to adjust the timing. I click the Edit button in the lower part, and the program locks itself as it has given priority to some editing window. But it does not appear anywhere. If I click the mouse I get the annoya Windows DING DING DING feedback. Also, same happens if I click the Closed Caption button.
    Only way to regain control of Captivate 5 is to hit Esc, to somehow close this invisible Edit or Closed Caption window or dialogue which I cannot see.
    Very annoying, what gives? Any ideas to how I can see my Edit or Closed Caption window?

    hi,
    Can you provide us below info to reproduce this issue,
    Which OS you are working.
    Audio is created by Text to Speech or Its imported to slide.
    Try below steps:
    Launch Advanced audio dialog.
    Click on Edit Audio button. - u are facing issue here, Edit Audio dialog is not visible right.
    click esc.
    move the Advanced audio dialog to corner of screen.
    Click on Edit Audio button - check if edit audio button is launched behind Advanced audio dialog.
    if yes, then click on edit Audio dilog or press Alt-Tab will bring Edit audio dialog to front.
    Thanks,
    Vish.

  • Nothing happens when I click on any app in the iTunes Store

    I launched my iTunes and clicked on iTunes Store link on the left. The iTunes Store home page loaded as usual. However when I tried clicking on various apps to view their details, nothing happened. Occasionally the "Accessing iTunes Store" message appears in the status window for a split second but even after it went away I am still on the iTunes home page.
    I can still download apps, but only if they have a price or free button next to their titles. Also, I am able to search for apps. But likewise, nothing happens when I click on the search results to view the apps' details.

  • Unable to "Continue" setup. Nothing happens when I press Continue.

    I've just plugged in my brand new Airport Express and started running the Airport Utility. I've given the device and network names and passwords but when I hit "Continue" on the Network name & password page of the set up nothing happens. I could hit "continue" all night and still nothing happens.

    OK, let's try this:
    o Power up the AirPort Express (AX) and let it run a few minutes
    o Hold in the reset button on the device until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly and keep holding another 4-5 seconds when you see this, then release
    o Wait 40-45 seconds for the AX light to slowly blink amber and then connect the ethernet cable from the modem to the AX.
    Open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
    Click the *Base Station* tab located just below the row of icons
    AX Name = Your choice
    AX Password = Your choice...write this down
    Confirm Password
    Enter check mark next to Remember password
    Enter check mark next to Set Time Automatically
    Adjust Time Zone
    No check mark next to Allow Setup over WAN
    No check mark next to Allow setup over Internet
    Click the Wireless tab next to the Base Station tab
    Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name = Your choice
    No check mark next to Allow network to be extended
    Radio Mode = 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)
    Radio Channel = Automatic
    Wireless Security = WPA2 Personal
    Wireless Password = Your choice...write this down
    Confirm Password
    Check mark next to Remember password
    Click the Internet icon
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
    Click Update and let the AX restart. If you see a message about Double NAT, click "ignore"
    The AX should now be providing a wireless network and you should be able to log on to that network with your computer, enter the wireless password and connect to the Internet.
    Post back on your results. There is another way to set things up, but it involves some changes to your modem and you will need to know both your user name and password for your service provider to do this. If the setup above will work, you should probably go with that.

  • Nothing happens when I click. What could be the reason?

    Using a web-based application with firefox where I can normally access my e-mails and database entries, nothing happens when I click, although the mouse cursor shows the "hand with finger" sight when I run over it. This was working fine till yesterday morning.
    It can't be a problem with the web-based application, as colleagues using the same firefox version are not facing any problems. Also, when using a different browser (e.g. Chrome) no problems either.

  • Nothing happens when I press PRINT via wireless printer sharing

    I have Mac G5 and Mac Mini, both with Mac OS X 10.4.7, both with Airport Extreme cards connected wirelessly to my Linksys router. I have Printer Sharing enabled on the G5 and selected "shared HP printer" on the Mac Mini. Everything appears to be setup correctly. However, I display the Print... dialog on the Mac Mini and click OK and nothing happens. I can click until I'm blue in the face. Nothing happens when I click Preview either. This has been this way for a long time. I THINK, and I repeat, I THINK there was a known issue with this that was fixed in, say, 10.3.x, and I recall ONE TIME was I able to print. I'm trying to recall, but I think when I upgraded to 10.4 I'm back to nothing happening.
    Any clues? I'm Mac savvy and, as far as I know, have everything set correctly--not that it should require much effort. Second, as a possible linked problem, similarly, when the Mac Mini sees the G5 in the Network Browser and I click "Connect..." the connection is made, then disconnected a few seconds later. So I'm thinking something may be hosed in the sharing department of the G5, but I wouldn't know what or where.
    Thanx for any assistance!

    This thread may be of some help, though I am not completely sure if it applies to wireless printer sharing; it's the same symptom though:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=424795&tstart=0
    Another possibility is to make sure the machines have the same version of the HP drivers.
    Hope this helps.
