last night, all of a sudden when I was surfing, I realized my "right-click" function doesn't work at all in my IE (but it does everywhere else, windows, etc.), and my IE also doesn't change the site's address inthe address bar once I leave a site (for example, if I'm on www.yahoo.com, and click on the sports section, the address bar will still says www.yahoo.com, instead of the usual ), so there really have some funky stuffs going on with my ie, either hi-jacked or spywares (but i scanned with Spybot so many times already) so I hope one of u pro's can give a hand, sorry for the long explanation, but thanks in advance...

Thread summary and focused triage based on the existing posts from and : initial IE-only symptoms (right‑click disabled inside IE; address bar not updating) were largely resolved after the IE repair + SFC step, but a new symptom — inability to type into IE form fields — appeared. That pattern points to one of three classes of causes left to check: a loaded add‑on or BHO that intercepts input, a per‑user profile corruption or policy restriction, or a broken/input‑handling component (keyboard hook / script engine). The sequence below orders fast, low‑risk checks before any repair or reinstall.

Quick isolation: start IE with all add‑ons disabled (No Add‑ons mode, e.g. launch iexplore.exe -extoff or use the provided No‑Add‑ons shortcut). If IE accepts typing in that mode, the cause is almost certainly an extension/toolbar/BHO — disable add‑ons and re-enable one at a time. For deeper inspection of browser helpers and toolbars, use Autoruns to list and selectively disable BHOs, toolbars and Explorer extensions (it exposes items that msconfig does not). (learn.microsoft.com)

If No‑Add‑ons mode does not restore typing, check for programs that hook the keyboard (global hotkey or IME utilities) and for DLLs injected into iexplore.exe. Process Explorer can show DLLs and handles loaded into the browser process and reveal unexpected input hooks or injected modules; a suspect injected DLL can be disabled/uninstalled. Also test the same sites while logged in with a freshly created local user account to determine whether the fault is limited to the original profile or system‑wide. Back up favorites/profile data before moving or deleting profiles. (learn.microsoft.com)

If the steps above do not help, follow a measured repair path rather than a full reinstall: try the documented Internet Explorer reset/repair steps and, if needed, reinstall the IE package appropriate to the OS. Re‑registering core IE components is what suggested earlier and remains a valid targeted action, but it should be done only after backups and with reboot testing between steps. Keep a restore point or image and export Favorites before making major changes. (learn.microsoft.com)

Key cautions: avoid blindly deleting startup items — save an Autoruns snapshot first; export bookmarks/favorites and any saved passwords; do not run automated “cleaners” that make many registry changes at once.

Hi! and welcome to the Daniweb forums.

===============

Run HiJackThis and click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:

Now, with all windows closed except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

To help protect your system from hostile ActiveX content, or special 'downloadable' files:

Download, install and keep updated, SpywareBlaster. If you've installed it for the first time:

1) Check for any available updates; if present, they'll be automatically downloaded and installed.
2) Next, "Enable all protection".
3) Exit the program.

-

Note: Remember to regularly check for updates.

===============

After rebooting your PC, post back a new log and let me know how everything goes. I do not think this will solve your problem though, but the entries need to go :).

crunchie.

thanks for the quick reply. You're right, my problem is still there, anyways, I followed every one of your steps and the following is my new log, thanks again

Try running which will repair IE and run a System File Check.

k, well, after I applied the iefix and sfc, those previosu problems were fixed, but a new problem occur in that I couldn't type in ie (for example, posting this reply... I used my firefox to type this...) but i do want to find a way to get ie back to shape though...

Close IE and go to Start > Run and run the following commands one after the other, each line followed by 'enter':

regsvr32 shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 urlmon.dll
regsvr32 comcat.dll
regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll

Run each line individually. After each run, you should see a short message stating the command was successful. Reboot.
