context menu doesn't appear sometimes

[Inti]

I have a new Fujitsu-Siemens PC with Windows Vista Home Premium.

Sometimes, when I right-click any item (folder or file) in Windows explorer,
the context menu doesn't appear or has less options than usual. I have to
close some windows (IE, Windows Mail, Windows Explorer...) to get the context
menu working again. But, a few minutes later, it doesn't work again, and I
have to close more windows... until I have no windows to close. Then, I have
to reboot.

This has happened to me many times. I've reinstalled Windows Vista but it
started to happen again.

Can anyone help?
Thanks

Hi,

Likely one of the context menu entries is causing a problem, this link may
help:

Thanks, I'll read it,

but I forgot to say that, besides context menus, when I click on any
application shortcut or double click on an .exe file in Windows Explorer, no
window is loaded either, unless I close one or several previously opened
windows.

Well, it seems Norton Internet Security was the problem. I comment this in a
post called "BlueScreen and Norton" in this discussion.
