I just installed SP2 on my XP-pro laptop. Everything
works fine now - except that I cannot "right-click" on
anything. For example, choosing a file in a window and
I "right-clicking" it a mini-menu should come up where I
can selcet "properties" or other useful tasks.

Now When I right-click, no mini-menu comes up. Only an
hour-glass pops up and the window stop responding. The
only thing I can do to make it go away is to go into task
manager and select "end task".
 
Same thing here using SP1.
The right click menu will appear after approx 15-20 seconds though.
 
Robert,

Similar issue:
Right click causes and error and crashes Explorer.exe after installing
