Trisha asks: I use Internet Explorer 8 to browse various websites. It’s a superb browser but whenever I use right click to access the menu items, I encounter a cluttered list of way too many items of absolutely no use to me. This wasn’t the case when I got my laptop reformatted. How do I remove right click menu items in Internet Explorer 8?

Modern browsers have made it easier for us to surf the web. Most of the advanced browsers integrate the important options like Print , Refresh , View Source , Back , Forward ,Select and others in the right click menu items.

Ted asks:  How do I fix this irritating DNS ERROR? Though I am connected to internet, the error “This page cannot be displayed” with the “Cannot find server or DNS error” at the bottom always shows up?

Ted, the problem you are facing is quite common. Most of us use automatic settings to obtain DNS address and thus end up using the DNS address provided by our Internet Service Provider (ISP). If the ISP’s DNS can’t resolve the IP addresses of the websites you will get the DNS error that you have asked.

What you can do is change the DNS address to any of the following free public DNS Servers. You can see the detailed instructions on how to change DNS Server Addresses here.
