    Right click context menu not Aero enabled


    When I right click on a certain icon (eg Computer, Firefox shortcut...) the menu looks low graph and old style, like on XP e.g. and Aero is enabled. But when I rightclick on my desktop the buttons and the menu seem normal.

    Anyway I can fix this?

    I added image so You can see what it really looks like...

    Hi Munch,

    To be honest, I can;t see much difference, maybe a slightly darker font on the First one. Perhaps it's easier to see when your at the desktop. :)

    Here's a few things to check anyway.
    • Graphics card drivers are up to date from the manufacturers website
    • Try a different theme
    • Right Click on Computer, select properties, click on advanced system settings, Under performance - click settings, adjust for best appearance


    Hope this helps

    I have tried all the things You said...
    its adjusted for best performance, tried a couple of themes, and installed the latest drivers just after installing the system yesterday.

    Heres a screen capture of what it looks like and where it appears.

    I know its not a big deal but its really annoying, surprisingly, and kinda like it when its all perfect xD

    Hi Munch, Welcome to SF,

    I guess its the issue with AVG on your Context Menu.

    To Fix the problem Download ShellExView

    The rule is to disable non-Microsoft context menu handlers *one-by-one* and verify if the problem is solved. If disabling one does not solve the problem, undo the disabled item and disable the next non-Microsoft handler. Do the same until the problem is solved and finally identify the culprit. Scroll right to see the Company Name column in ShellExView.

    Hope this helps

    I do have AVG...can I do something in it to fix this?
    If not, could You please write a bit more precisely about what I should do in the ShellExView app because I kinda dont understand anything :P

    Sorry i thought that the screen shot was yours.

    Download ShellExView and open it. Then sort it by Company Name. Then disable all the Non-Microsoft application from that list.

    Hope this helps,
