Re: Unable to view properties when I right click mouse

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers

Right-click is extremely slow only when Network is enabled

I am unable to view properties when I right click my mouse.
My PC did not crash, I noticed this problem just recently.
When I right click, my PC just hangs at one point I waited 20
minutes...nothing.
I think it may be a program running in the background or memory
issue....?

I recently ran across response from Ramesh to "jimmyd" back Dec 2005
where jimmyd was experiencing the same problem but I believe his PC had
crashed...
I ran and tried all of Ramesh suggestions mentioned in his response to
"jimmyd" but I still have the problem....?

It almost seems that there is a program running that's using up the
memory or it confused the CPU so that it can't make up its mind what to
do...

I have installed - Spyware, Ad-Aware, Spybot, Zone alarm (Free ver)
System Suite 6 (Trend Micro anti-virus)
I have checked and made sure there are no virus or spyware on my PC but
still have this problem.....

Opened Task Manger I do not see evidence that any program applications
are running..!
Could be something that's running in the background that Task manager
is unable to detect...

The only way I can get out of the problem is to do a hard reboot or
reboot thru Task manager.

My OS is Windows XP Pro & Office 2003 SP2 and all the latest Windows
& Office updates, on-board memory is 1 Gig.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
.
