This one is baffling me, I'm running XP Pro SP-1 when I click; Start, All Programs, and then try to right click on one of the shown applications to get the shortcut window all I get is a flash of the shortcut window and then nothing. Has anyone seen anything like this? I have tried to repair windows, no good. I really do not want to reformat the drive to resolve the problem. Any ideas?

Are you sure that it's not the mouse? To check that out, go the the control panel, select the mouse icon, then select the "Switch primary and secondary buttons" Option and then select OK. Now try it again, but remember that now your normal selection is with the right button and a right click is now the left button. -- It's a shot. Don't forget to reverse it back when you're through, unless you're left handed then you will enjoy it as is.

I have tried right-clicking in other windows, no problems. This only occurs in the application list under "all programs."
