Tim , we can't answer everybody personally on their emails . Posted here =
answered here . I also hope this is not your real email because if it is ,
you are now most likely to fall victim of spammers. Anyway...

It can be everything ...

First try to do System Restore . System Restore is special function of
Windows XP which allows you restore your system to a previous state exactly
as it was before. Restore to a state some days before the problem started.
Start - Programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore


If this doesn't fix the problem , try these :

Make sure your computer is virus/spyware free. Visit my web-site and perform

Never post your real unmunged email address on Usenet (where you are
posting now) or on messageboards. It will get harvested by spambots.
Here is a link explaining how to munge:

See these links for right-click problems which are usually caused by
context menu entries inserted by third-party software or sometimes an
older codec.

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

Right click causes an error and crashes Explorer.exe after installing
Windows XP SP2 - http://www.winxptutor.com/sp2/divxcrash.htm

Manage the context-menu entries for folders, drives and Namespace
objects - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/context_folders.htm
