Issue with right click on desktop

Rock,

Thanks for the reply. I will give "Method 1" a shot.

Since my original post, however, I've discovered the problem is much deeper
than just the context menu issue. When I open Windows Explorer and try to
click "FILE," I get the same behavior...20-30 seconds of freezing, shuts down
Explorer, gives me a blank screen, then returns to normal after a few more
seconds.

Thoughts?

Thanks again!
