right click delay

[awezoom]

I have a unique problem i have not been able to solve
with windows XP. When I right click on items, it takes
a
good 15 seconds before the menu opens up.

This happens in a number of situations. From the start
menu, if i right click on a program to delete it from
the
main menu, the hour glass comes up and i have to wait
for
15 seconds before the file menu comes up so i can
choose
delete.

When in windows explorer, if i right click on a file to
delete it or to see the properties, once I right click
the hour glass comes up and it takes 15 seconds before
the menu pops up.

Likewise, when in windows explorer, if i click on FILE
from the menu, I also experience a 15 second delay.

Any suggestions on how to remedy the problem?

Try this: Right click an empty area on your Desktop, left click Properties.
When the Display Properties box opens, click the Appearance tab, click the
Effects button, left click to REMOVE the checkmark in the box to the left
of: Use the following transition effect for menus and tooltips, click the
OK button, then click the Apply and OK buttons at the bottom of the
remaining box. You'd probably gain even more speed if you'd switch to the
Classic Start Menu (Right click the Start button, left click Properties,
select the option: Classic Start menu, click the Apply and OK buttons).
