Right-click problems are often caused by third-party software putting
extensions into the context menu that mess things up. Use the free
ShellExView program to manage the non-MS context entries:

And here are some additional links for right-click issues:

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

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

And when all else fails, since the problem just occurred you can do a
System Restore to before the problem existed. Naturally, you will first
ask yourself what changed between the time things worked and the time
they didn't. If you upgraded your video drivers, for instance, you
could always roll them back. If you installed a program, you might try
uninstalling it or looking on the mftr.'s website for known issues.
Etc.
