Right Click Issue

Post by dmz94 »

I installed some new shareware and MS updates yesterday. Now, when I try to right click on a text file and use Textpad, nothing comes up and the "window manager" is broken. I can no longer access anything on the desktop. Has anyone else ever run into something like this? Any ideas? This does not happen in safe mode with networking turned on. I have uninstalled the shareware, run virus scans and adware scans but this does not help.

Thanks!

Perhaps uninstalling and reinstalling textpad would clear up the issue?

I've had exactly this problem since I upgraded from Win2k to XPpro and it's driving me nuts! Hope a solution can be found soon.
