Dead Slow Right Click On Desktop?
May 6, 2009
When right clicking on the desktop. You can Create a new Folder, Enter the Nvidia Control Panel (and I do often), go to personalize, and something else I do often. "Refresh" I right click and do refresh all the time. It's a bad habit I started in XP.
Basically When I first loaded 7.. it seemed fine. I installed a bunch of drivers, so I'm not sure what one did it. But now when I right click while I'm on the desktop. It takes a solid 3 or so seconds to pop-up.. that is WAY to slow. Vista it was instant.. and Windows 7 was at first also.
Everything else seems speedy. Starting from Shutdown.. opening programs. Everything is pretty speedy. But the right click feature I use often. It's really slow.
Also, when I right click on Taskbar, or any of the desktop icons, it's super Fast. only the right click on the actual desktop.
I think I might go back to WHQL Nvidia driver instead of the BETA for 7. that is what I think I'll try first.

for the last few weeks whenever i left click on the desktop it brings the right click menu. this dosen't happen in the browser (firefox), but only in the windows desktop and start menu. however i the browser if i am on a web player like Internet, the portion that displays the video fails to display my cursor. as a result i am not able to control the video settings in the browser.

If the internal battery on my desktop pc is dead,could this cause my pc not to start?And if so, by replacing it will I be able to start my,pc normally or do I have to do something else?Reason I'm asking is my pc has power but no splash,screen shows up. The light indicator that shows,activity goes on briefly and the dvd light indicator,turns on briefly. But nothing happens, black screen.

Whenever I right click on a file such as a photo or even IE the computer goes into a non responsive mode. If I wait it out at least 45+ seconds generally the menu comes up. This is pretty frustrating. Have seen a few posts with the shellexviewer etc and started to go that route but I decided to do a restore at a earlier point and now and looking for a fresh perspective

If I click on All Programs and then on C drive, it'll open up with a blank page and then a green bar starts moving slowly across the top. When it gets to the end, it just sits there.Pictures, Games and Music do the same thing. Games is blank and no green bar. The CPU, according to the meter, is running at about 1 or 2 %. Checking with Task Manager, nothing else is running.The only way to get it to work, is to Log Off and then Log back on. It'll be OK for a while and then does it again.

In former WinXP I could slowly (!) double click on a folder name on the left side of WinExplorer in the tree view. The folder name could then be renamed. In new Windows 7 the slow double click trick does not work any more. Ok, I could select "rename" from the context menu. However I prefer the slow double click way. Is there a way to enable this feature in Windows 7 as well?

I have a Dell Inspiron 14z with i5 processor, windows 7 64 bit (hopefully that's enough information)
I've been having problems right or left clicking on my desktop icons (the ACTUAL icons). Strangely enough, my start menu and task bar work fine and I can right click on the desktop but not on the actual icons. Also, my dell gadgets work fine.
It seems as if someone placed a window over my icons and I can't click them at all. I know it's a minor thing but it's a bit inconvenient at times.
Here are some things I tried so far: apparently there was a IE-related desktop problem so I disabled all my IE9 addons -nothing changed
Using the task manager, I shut down explorer.exe and restarted it; still can't click on the icons -note: when i shut down explorer.exe (my icons looked the same, and an "image" of my task bar was still there - showing that I had chrome and iTunes open but at that moment I wasn't using those applications.)

When I right-click on the desktop it takes forever just to load the right-click menu. The desktop freezes but other applications works fine (i.e. WLM, Chrome). I tried Googling but can't find what I wanted. I found a similar problem, but it was from 2009 involving NVIDIA graphic driver problem. --> This. On a side note, my NVIDIA Control Panel also can't execute. Does this have any connection with my problem? I last updated the drivers with this.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit, Intel i5, NVIDA GeForce GT230M, 4GB RAM.

I've been looking for a way to solve this problem but I've haven't found anything.. When ever i right click on a icon on my desktop (games, firefox, etc) a quick error box pops up and quickly goes away, so i don't actually have a chance to see the error and the menu that normaly comes up when right clicking doesn't open. But when i right click on the background, the menu pops up no problem..

I did a clean install of Win 7 32bit last week and I am facing this issue once in a while. The desktop icons can't be used I can't click or select any icon, also right click of the mouse doesn't work. I can right click on the taskbar or in windows explorer but not on the desktop. Even show desktop icon doesn't work when the above happens. There is no specific time when this happens or it doesn't happen after running a particular program so I can't figure out what is the reason for this random fault.

if I open a folder and r/click any file (to send it to another disk), I get a message saying that Explorer has stopped working and then it is restarting. This happens every time I try this. It restarts OK every time but never tells me why it crashed.When I go to do a System restore, it cannot complete the restore as it says a file cannot be accessed and that maybe an Anti-virus is running. I have disabled A/V and Firewall, both in Norton Internet Security which I only installed yesterday. All was working OK until later today, when I noticed that Windows 7 had installed 3 critical updates and I'm thinking that one or both are the cause?These were KB973924 x 2 and KB972696.

When have to right click on desktop and Windows explorer I get the message "Windows Explorer has stopped Working" Restarting Windows explorer. This makes it difficult to do anything that requires a right click.

My desktop click-and-drag selecter has turned invisible with black and white borders, it used to be blue. I know this isn't a major issue but i would like to get it fixed. It occurred after running a maintenance with IObit's Advanced System Care which removed junk files, broken shortcuts, etc. How do I get it back to normal?

i just recently gotten a virus that called "smart hdd virus". i googled it and and tried to remove it in safe mode, and i think i halfly removed it cause i got rid of the s.m.a.r.t. repair popups. i think i downloaded a antivirus i think it may have been a tracking cookie virus. i dont remember how though. now, whenver i login into windows 7 laptop, the desktop and files take a whole lot more to load than usual, i would click the start button and there would be no files loading up, it took atleast maybe 5 minutes to come up. then whenever i try to navigate through the start button im not able to because i cant access the desktop and its takes forever to load, there is a circlish loading bar on it so i have no access to the desktop whatsoever. the only way i can access files is through the start button but that doesnt help much. oh and whenever i try to open my browser it would take a really long time as with other programs as well. and whenver im trying to login through sites like Internet, facebook, and twitter, they wont let me login and im using opera internet browser. i think this is cookie virus im not sure and this has been happening for the past 4 days i cant get ride of it.

I have been noticing a gradual increase in boot time to the desktop - not actually sure when it was relatively normal. However yesterday it took so long to get there ( 5 minutes plus), I though it was not going to boot up. Did eventually get there after a few reboots.
This morning it's still slow but at least I'm getting there. System seems fine once it's up and running. This is what I'm getting;
Black post screen - seems to take a while to initialise USB controllers - around 30 seconds or so. Goes onto Windows splash screen - sits there for around 20 seconds.
Screen then goes black - monitor says "no signal detected" - sits there for around 30 seconds Welcome screen appears with whirring thing in the middle - around 20 seconds
Desktop appears but can take around a minute to fully load. Going into event manager and viewing the ID 100 log shows;
Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-Diagnostics-Performance/Operational
Source: Microsoft-Windows-Diagnostics-Performance
Date: 27/10/2012 10:57:58

Have setup RD for Win 7 64 Ultimate (both boxes) on internal LAN. Connects no problem and the LAN operates at almost full Gbps when moving files between the two. I've disabled the A/V and firewall (Kaspersky A/V 2012 on client, MSE on host) but no changes.Even with all the RDP options stripped down it is slow. Should it not be at virtual speed even with all the bells & whistles across the LAN?

my new i7 laptop seems really slow and sluggish compared to my old AMD x2 desktop computer which I built 6 years ago. [code]I initially thought it may be all the bloat ware that Lenovo added onto the machine so I wiped it all and put on a clean Windows 7 Home Premium 64 on it and nothing else however its still slow.how to speed up this beast and make the whole experience a little less time consuming.
