Resource File Not Found

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

When I right click on an icon instead of getting the pop-up menu with
options I get an error message. The message box is labelled
"cf99menu_.rsc". The error message states "Resource File Not Found".
Clicking OK makes the box go away. It is annoying and adds a step to any
function where a right click is involved.

Any suggestions?

I have done searches as you suggest to no avail.

I feel it must have something to do with Windows because I have noticed that
the same message appears when I have the Excel or Word "Look in" box open and
when I right click on a Word or Excel Document.
