Hi,

after installig sp2 for the second time i still got the problem that i cannot open the properties of a file with the right mouseclick.Marking with the left mouseclick and pressing the delete button has the same effect;the sand clock appears for 15 seconds,the explorer crashes and i see my naked backgroundpicture.Then the desctop with all my icons rebuilds.Uninstalling sp2 helps,but isnt there another way?
Microsoft SP2 Hotline couldnt help me. :-(

Regards,

Mir

Welcome to Wd forums mir .

Right click often has menu items added to it by various programs as they get installed, which I think is your problem, so try telling us whats showing up when you right click minus sp2 & that'll maybe give us clues, I think you are gonna find you need an update for one or more installed programs or fathom how at least to stop them adding errant stuff to right click.

Hi confus-ed,

you where right.After deleting some right mouse click associations in the registry,the error was gone.

Thanks again,

Mir
