After you highlight the selection, then right-click the highlighted text,
your context menu should appear, with copy being one of your choices. The
blue arrow indicates that an accelerator is available. To see available
accelerators, click the arrow. These choices could include email, map, and
search, among others. There are many accelerators to choose from and
install. Once you get the copy/paste thing, maybe you would like to check
those out too.

Try disabling the new accelerators list. In IE8 use Tools, Options,
Advanced tab,
_uncheck_ Display Accelerator button on selection

I tried to unclick what Robert said and that didn't work.
When I left click and drag the mouse to highlight... everything highlights
ok but when I right click only the little blue arrow shows up with NO
drop/down menu. This is only on 90% of the internet, It will work with the
keyboard hot keys.

Jack,
You are supposed to right click on the highlighted area and not on the arrow.
That's why you can't get the context menu for copying.
