Can't right click in Windows Explorer XP Pro

I recently became unable to right-click on anything in Windows
Explorer. I can right click items in the start menu and inside Mozilla
Firefox, but nothing on my desktop or other folders. The only time I
can right click inside a folder is if it is a folder that contains
pictures, in which case I can set the view to Filmstrip and right click
the preview of the image.

The things that I believe could have caused this are some spyware
(adware.popupper) or Internet Explorer 7. IE 7 is also prohibitting me
from right clicking inside of it.

Any help that would prevent a reinstall would be great.

Thanks in advance
