When you right-click on a Desktop
icon or a folder, the pointer changes to a hourglass, Taskbar disappears and
after about 30 seconds the screen comes back to normal and still no right click
options are available. This behavior may be seen after installing Windows XP
Service Pack 2. However, it's not a problem caused by Service Pack 2, but an
incompatible Context-menu handler from DivX.
Update 9/8/2004 - DivX software and Windows XP SP2
Eliminate the context-menu handler from the registry, or disable it temporarily using ShellExView tool.
See this page for more information on using ShellExView utility (see Method 2 in that page). In ShellExView, the entry might read as EncodeDivXExt Module. More information from DivX.com Forums, regarding DivX and the problems with Windows XP Service Pack 2
