right click and copy page or image properties....

suddenly I'm left not being able to right click image properties be it gif, jpg etc and capturing the property to past. Could it be Google Chrome is causing this issue. I have iIE 8 and use windows XP Pro. I've tried a bunch of things and its still this long property stream which I can't highlight and copy.

Before I delete Chrome which I suspect is trying it to take over everything. I used to have just plain Google for searchs but that semms to have gone away.

I'm on a Mac but know for certain that Firefox and Safari, for example, handle these things differently.

opts out might also be a problem...I'm going to delete google chrome and see what happens.

Still the same but I did find Chrome has a fix for itself. I downloaded a new copy of 9.7 too.
