I have an annoyance question regarding Internet Explorer. I seen this happen consistently on Windows 2000 machines, but it does not happen on Windows 95 or 98 machines. I am unsure if this occurs in ME or XP and I don't care if it happens in 3.1
After I right click any information in Internet Explorer on a Windows 2000 machine there is a 3 second delay from when I click the mouse and the menu appears. Upon right clicking in other programs or on Window?s desktop I receive a slight hesitation that is less then a quarter second. I would like the decrease this delay in Internet Explorer to be the same as the rest of Windows.

I do not see 'right click response' as an option in 'Internet Options'. I assume there would be a registry key for this feature, but I have been unable to find information concerning this online or casual browsing around the registry.

Windows 2000 with SP2
Internet Explorer 5.5, SP2

Any idea for solutions?

you need at least 128 mb ram and 333 mkz to run 2000 pro
it seems like you have too little ram or processor/ solution increase your paging file or add more ram/ if you have done this format and reinstall

I'm using a P4 with 256 meg of RAM. If it was CPU, RAM, or paging file, then I would have other system problems and the right click response in IE would be the same as in other programs.
