Everytime I right click on anything My computer crashes
or I get a not responding message. I'm not sure if I have
DivX installed on my computer. I don't think I do. I went
through the right click menu and disabled everything and
it still won't right click without crashing Please help
me.
 
If you have a Windows cd try Start>Run they type 'sfc /scannow' without the
quotes and with the space after sfc. When it asks for the Windows cd insert
it. If you get a message that the version of Windows on the computer is
later than the cd it means you have installed SP2 and the cd does not have
it. Post back for further instructions.
 
I have windows xp SP2 installed. I read that SP2 causes
these problems.

I have not seen anything to indicate that a right click crashes the system
on right click. I am using SP2 on a lot of systems and nothing like that
has shown up in the months since upgrading.

Does your Windows CD have SP2 on it or did you upgrade to SP2 via Windows
Update?
