Rightclicking: Feeze

Skybird · 03-28-09, 06:33 AM

I have the symptom since some days that when I rightclick on a folder to open the context menue, the cursor changes from arrow to egg timer and then the system somewhat freezes. No more clicks on other folders, left or right-clicking, are accepted. If I am lucky, I can use CTRL-ALT-DELETE to open the task manager, and close the folder there (which is listed as ";no reply/keine Rückmeldung". Else I must reboot via reset-button. System is Windows XP, new installed just some weeks ago. Scanners found no problem. Ideas?
