Hi! I'm having a problem right now! When I right click on desktop screen, pointer shows it is "busy" but nothing happens and all icons disappear and appear again(like slow refresh). I mean context menu doesn't appear.But right clicking on desktop icons works fine. Right click works fine in libraries,browser and other folders too. Please help!!

I likewise had this problem (right click not working to change properties and the screen looking like XP instead of 7). To solve it, I went to the "Windows Update" program on my computer. It gives instruction on how to uninstall an update. I located and uninstalled the last Windows update. I restarted, and everything returned to normal.

My guess is that the the update may have been corrupted when downloaded. I remember seeing the update message when I shut down on Friday, and then Tuesday (after the 3 day holiday weekend) I had the problem.

So, hopefully this is the end of it.
