Can't switch between worksheet tabs

[masmas]

Hi

I have a pretty huge spreadsheet with +25 worksheets tabs. My problem is that sometimes I can not switch between them when clicking on the tabs. When I click the tabs either nothing happens or I get a standard windows right click menu even though i left click (like this one, but don't mind that this it taken from the windowns menu bar, it is the same right click menu i get http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d90/gQgler/IT/shift-right-click-taskbar.jpg. )
I am aware that I am able to switch between the worksheet tabs by holding ctrl and pressing PgUp or PgDn however with 25 or more sheets clicking is much much easier.

I thought that another program could be blocking the tabs somehow, so I to a screenshot of all running processes. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d90/gQgler/IT/1.png
Can anybody help me with this annoying problem?

Welcome to the Forum,

In your workbook at the bottom left you will see the arrows to navigate to the sheets, if you use your right mouse button down there it will display all of the sheet names and you can select the one you need to go to.

I hope this helps you.

Have a look at this link.

They seemed to have linked it - somewhat- to HP Wireless, which is in your task list.

I am assuming you are using Xl2007. Windows 7 judging by pic.

@Trevor G: Thank you, I found my solution through you link

It seemed HP Wireless Assistant was causing the problem. What you need to do is to install the HotFix from HP called “HP Wireless Assistant - 3.50.11.2 (15 IV 2010) - sp48392.exe (3.8 MB)”.

HP says that the the hotfix..:
“Fixes an issue, which occurs when using Microsoft Excel on a notebook that
is running a 32-bit version of the Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Operating
System, where a pop-up menu is displayed when the Sheet1 tab at the bottom of
the screen is clicked (instead of the tab contents being displayed). The
displayed pop-up menu is the same as the menu you would see if you
right-clicked the window's title bar.”


I have not have seen the problem after installing the hotfix and can therefore with great pleasure announce that the problem has been SOLVED

A great day to you all
