Have you tried running IE with no add-ons? If it works with no add-ons then
you may have a Toolbar or other IE extension interfering, or it may be some
other (unrelated to IE) program that has modified your context menu. The
context menu is what you are referring to as the drop/down.

To run IE with no add-ons, Click the Start button, All Programs,
Accessories, System Tools, you'll see a short cut for Internet Explorer (no
add-ons).

You are not doing it correctly if you right click on the little blue
arrow. If you right click on the highlighted text it should work
correctly. The little blue arrow if for searching the internet, not
copy copy and paste.

Perhaps you need to restart IE? FWIW it works for me. No "little blue
arrow". ; )

I switched to running IE with no add-ons and it works fine now.
And I wasn't clicking any blue arrow,, all I said is that's all that
appears when I right click a highlighted text.

You've seemed to confirm that it is one of your IE add-ons messing with your
context menu. Start IE normally, then go to Tools/Manage Add-ons. There,
you can disable them, one-at-a-time, checking your copy/paste function after
each change. This should tell you which one is causing you grief. Either
leave it disabled, or uninstall it.
