Everytime I right click something inside a window my system frezzes and I
have to use alt+ctrl+del, I can right click on some items but not in a window
- so that I can create a new file etc. Why is this? Thank you for your help

Perry

Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/slowrightclick.htm

Right-click is extremely slow only when Network is enabled
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/rcdelay.htm

Right click causes an error and crashes Explorer.exe after installing
Windows XP SP2

I'm sorry but none of this has helped. Its everytime I right click in a
window that I get an hour glass and nothing happens.

Perry you'r lucky. I can right click and left click. The problem is my
mouse only moves up and down and if I use a circular movement for over a
minute it moves about one pixel to left or right. At present I am doing
everything via keyboard

I have uninstalled and reinstalled mouse and driver
Open and cleaned mouse, (mouse is rollerball)
Tried two different mice at different ports
Ran anti virus
Defraged my computer
Freed up disk space
Even opened computer with was loaded with dust and cleaned inside

Mouse is just the same. I would have thought Win XP Pro could solve problem
via help but nothing seems to work. Looks like I,m stuck

>> but none of this has helped.

That's a poor feedback IMO.
