slooow right click menu files / folders

[DB]

I'm having quite an infuriating problem with my system, IV 1.5 GHZ running
256 meg ram

on my desktop running win XP Pro SP1 and all the updates whenever I right
click on a folder or file in explorer it takes an age, ie 20 or 30 seconds
for the right click menu to appear. Sometimes it does not appear. If I right
click from another machine on my network it does the same.

I've googled but not found anything relevant

any help or pointers really appreciated

Dave

1. First, disconnect from your network, or internet for those with
broadband, otherwise this process will beverys 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
