When I right-click an item to bring up the sub-menu,
there is an extremely long pause before the submenu comes
up. The second time in the same plave is very fast? I
Checked, there are not running services, usually 99% Idle
when this happens. I ran adaware and spybot, without
improvement.

Have you recently updated your antivirus? Reason being, I have seen several
reports of people experiencing this after updating their antivirus, I think
Norton.

1. First, disconnect from your network, or internet for those with
broadband, otherwise this process will be very slow.
2. Go to your Norton Antivirus, and disable the automatic LiveUpdate.
3. Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared.
4. Rename the file called CommonClient.dat to something else like
CommonClient.dat.bad.
5. Rename the file called CommonClient_old.dat to CommonClient.dat.
6. Reconnect your network.
7. Until theres a new fix for this, use LiveUpdate.
8. Put these in your hosts file [C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc] with
notepad:
127.0.0.1 sitefinder-idn.verisign.com
127.0.0.1 crl.verisign.com1 crl.verisign.com

Open IE. Click 'Tools" -> "Internet Options" -> "Advanced". Uncheck
the Security setting "Check for publisher's certificate revocation".

You may want to recheck the item after the problem of the expired
certificate is resolved.

Prove it first.
Open IE. Click 'Tools" -> "Internet Options" -> "Advanced". Uncheck
the Security setting "Check for publisher's certificate revocation".

You may want to recheck the item after the problem of the expired
certificate is resolved.

That will work too.
