Whilst browsing my pc decided not to let me view thumbnails inserted in posts in threads on another forum i use, the blue bar at the top of the screen would just flash once and then nothing would happen.

Then i noticed that my file edit view menues at the top of the page have gone

now it wont let me right click on anything, normally you can right click on most stuff to copy and paste etc, i click and nothing comes up.

Now i have noticed that when i go start> then choose microsoft word from the main bit that pops up it just flashed up the word start up box in the middle fo the screen for less than a second and it dissapears again.

Poxy things these pooters.
Any ideas?

stuck key? shutdown your pc then have a good "mash" on the keyboard to free it up.

well i held back on the mashing andrestarted and it all seems good now, although my menu's at thr top are still missing

Just to let you know you're not alone, I have had this for a few weeks myself, a reboot will cure it for a while and then it happens again.

I haven't found the solution yet, but if I do I'll post it here.

It seems to be a memory leak problem in IE7.

The cure may be to install Firefox.
