    Right Click on Desktop lag issue


    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

    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,

    I have the latest drivers, just updated them today. The problem still persists.

    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. :)

    Feanux,

    You might see if it is having the Fade option set in Visual Effects below delaying how fast the menu opens from.

    You might also see if setting the menus to open faster using the tutorial below may help.

    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.
