Windows XP - problems right clicking

[Javi]

After installing Windows XP service Pack 2 my right
clicking function stopped working well...When I right
click on (or use the keyboard options menu button)
individual files to see the options menu, the clock
appears indicating that my computer is working but then
all desktop icons dissapear along with the taskbar and
they reload again seconds later without the options menu
having opened. However, when I right click on folders or
other icons on my desktop such as "My Network
Places", "Recycle Bin", and "Internet Explorer" the
options menu appears and functions normally. Any way to
fix this issue?

Explorer seems to be either crashing or refreshing.
