Guest Valerie Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I hope that I can explain this being I am a computer idiot. LOL When I want to copy, paste, print something or etc, I would always be able to right click and go to the function that I want to do. It would spell all the options in a little box. Now when I right click.....you can't see any of these options but if you go over the box without seeing them, they appear one at a time. I don't know what to do and hope you understand what I am talking about. Thanks, Valerie

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