Hi,

When I start my computer from a full shutdown or a restart, my right click
will display the hourglass for several minutes, up to 5 minutes at times.
This happens on the very first right click on any blank space on the desktop
or on any icon. Once I right click I cannot do anything (except ctrl alt
del), however, if I first open the internet then minimize the browser screen
then right click, I can continue working with the internet browser. After the
5 minutes or so the right click starts to work and will work fine from then
on until the next full reboot where the whole thing happens over again. I
usually hibernate my PC, but when I need to reboot this problem will happen.
This is a recent thing and started occurring yesterday.

I have searched around for a solution, but most things I found mention it is
a recurring thing that happens on every right click for about 5 seconds.

I run:

Windows XP Home
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4ghz
nVidea GeForce 7600 GT
2 gb ram
Norton anti virus 2009 <------------new to my computer (day before problem
started)

Any help would be much appreciated.
 
Ok, never mind. The slow initial right click was caused by my Norton 360
trial version, (not 2009 forgot which was installed). Uninstalled that and
working fine for me now.
