Hi,

This is my first post so I hope it's in the right place.

I've just installed SQL Management Studio on my PC which seems to work fine except I don't have any right click menus. I have tried both 2005 and 2008 and both have the same problem.

My PC is running Vista 32 and everything else works fine and I have right click menus in all other programs.

Has anyone come across this before? does anyone know how to fix it?

I should probably mention that due to the security policy where I work I have to run my PC without any admin permissions (local or domain), but when I use Mgmt Studio I use "Run As" and use a domain admin account with permissions to connect to the SQL server. I am able to make the connection fine.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Phill.

There is no such limitation in SQL 2005 or 2008, or for that matter any MS product. Have you switched the buttons from control panel? check your mouse settings in control panel.

Thanks Harsh, you pointed me in the right direction, it was something to do with mouse drivers (I have a special mouse due to RSI) and using run as, in the end I've granted my non-admin account admin privileges on the SQL server so that I no longer need to use run as.
