Right Click Freezes my computer

[mysterious]

I'm using windows XP (SP2). When ever i right click on
any folder on my computer, my computer freezes for
atleast 30 secs. This problem is not related to SP2. I
can't do anything on my computer when i right click to do
something. But on the other hand when i'm browsing
everything seems to fine this problem only occurs when
ever i use my folders or open any program. Please Please
help mein this matter. I dont want to install Windows
again. Thanks in Advance.

So you're saying that you had the right click freeze problem before SP2
and upgraded hoping SP2 would fix it? It's not a good idea to upgrade a
system that is having problems unless you know for sure the upgrade is
designed to fix the problem. In this case I would suggest you remove
SP2, fix the system then upgrade.

Right click problems are generally due to a misbehaving right click
context menu handler. Spysweeper in SP1 and SP@, and some flavors DivX
in SP2 can cause this, but any corrupt or misbehaving context menu
handler can cause problems.

problem before SP2


idea to upgrade a


the upgrade is


suggest you remove


right click


some flavors DivX


context menu

What do you mean the problem remains the same? What did you try? Did
you have the problem before SP2? Have you removed SP2? Did you have
DivX installed? Removed it? Spysweeper? You need to give some
specific information.
