Hi everyone, mandatory first post announcement incomming

This is my first post on here and I'm just curious is anyone's had this problem: Whenever I right-click on my desktop, the loading icon appears and it seems to take a few seconds for the right click menu to pop up.

My computer is in no way slow
2.1 cd2
4gb ram
8700m sli
win7 x64
latest drivers and updates

Just wondering if anyone has had this problem or could help me solve it. Thanks

Feanux

This use to be the problem with nvidia beta drivers, if you use nvidia based card the latest driver is updated on 21/8/09 yesterday. Update us if that solves the problem.

This problem also presents in relation to the context menu. Do you have any modifications to the context menu?
 
Hello Feanux, and welcome to Seven Forums.

If you have installed a program that added anything, or you have, to the context menu recently, then you can use the program ShellExView to disable that "Context Menu" item unde the "Type" column in the program to see if that may be it.

If you are not sure, then you can try a System Restore using a restore point dated before this happened to see if it can fix it for you.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Downloaded, installed, and ran ShellExView, but to no avail. The only added Context Menu was "nVidia Control Panel" and that doesn't show up in ShellExViewer.

Any other suggestions?

*Note: This right-click lag does not appear to happen in safe mode.

You might give System Restore a try. :)

:huh:
Neither of those worked. Interesting. Anything else you care to try? It's not a pressing manner, I don't right-click on my desktop much, I just like to figure things out instead of leaving them as is.

The only other thing I can suggest is to try a repair install.

Interesting that you have WinRAR highlighted in ShellExView.

There is a known issue involving WinRAR and the context menu, involving 32-bit and 64-bit dlls. In WinRAR, disable shell integration. Test. Report.
 
Hey mate,

I had the exact same issue as you are having. Scoured the internet for hours, still no avail. I then uncovered an excellent post (cited below) with my fix.

The issue lies within Nvidia and their Nvidia Display Manager.

Possible Solution:
*BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY! - You always need a backup when you modify your registry! (http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/4230-registry-backup-restore.html)
*Go to your start menu
*In the search type "regedit" and hit enter
*Browse to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\ContextMenuHandlers"
*Locate "NvCplDesktopContext"
*Right click on "NvCplDesktopContext" and select "delete"
*Close regedit...
*Right click on your desktop!

Now, if you are like me and you want it to WORK and not lag, follow the following steps:
*BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY! - You always need a backup when you modify your registry! (http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/4230-registry-backup-restore.html)
*Follow the above steps first --- then proceed below
*Go to your start menu
*In the search type "regedit" and hit enter
*Browse to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell"
*Right click on "Shell" and add new key. Name the key "Nvidia Control Panel"
*Right click on your newly added key and name it "Command"
*Double click the newly created "Command" key and enter into the Default Value "c:\windows\system32\nvcplui.exe"

Viola, it should work. Post back and let us know if this or the above were solutions.
