Right click on icon = BSOD

[Richard M]

This is annoying.
Basically, whenever I right click on an icon in my quick launch to get the context menu up it will crash the computer - SHIFT+DEL works to delete stuff although that didn't work for a while, it seems to be intermittent on the desktop ones though.
It's just crashing when drawing the GUI menu for some bizarre reason.

What would cause this?
The OS has been fine until a month or so ago, it happened ages after SP2 BTW so I know that's not the problem.

It might be something that places new content into the context menu. CD burning software, anti-virus, anything that adds new options in the right-click menu could be causing it. Have you tried reloading some of your apps?

I don't suppose it has any bearing on my strange right click thread ???

If its the drawing, maybe a look at graphics drivers/card maybe a good idea.

If it is something added to the menu I would try a system restore if u have a convenient save point
