Does anyone know this about Paint in Windows 7?

In the old Paint program you had that the eraser tool would erase everything, but if you pressed the right-click button on the mouse only the selected color would get erased.

In Windows 7 just nothing happens. Is there a way to only erase the selected color? For me it was a handy tool...

Update:

huh now it does work... weird. anyway thanks people

    In Windows 7 right-click/drag replaces color 1 with color 2. So if you select your color as color 1 and white as color 2 it's gonna turn that color into white i.e. "erase" it. This works for ALL drawing/painting tools in fact (pencil, fill etc.).

    In my windows 7 paint i have this feature just select the colour you want to erase and right click to erase. I am not sure that why isn't your working. Make sure you are selecting the right colour.
