    Right clicking on an application freezes


    When I try to right click an application on the desktop OR in the file explorer, the loading circle appears and stays like that until I restart my computer or the explorer. If it's in the file explorer, it just freezes with the circle and I have to close it from the taskbar or task manager. If it's on the desktop with the apps it self the loading circle appears and I can't interact with the screen, only task bar and other opened apps.

    :)

    Right click function of an application

    Hello

    After right clicking on an application on taskbar it displays a list of history or recently used things but again right clicking on a particular thing suppose a video, folder, program etc the drop down menu is not visible means not transparent.

    Also if i take the pointer slightly towards right of the menu it shows the drop down menu options but not fully transparent that is it is not overwriting over the list of options after the 1st right click on an application of taskbar.

    Please solve the problem and give necessary suggestions.

    Thank you and regards

    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?

    Right clicking on an application freezes

    Clicking noise from HDD

    Hey again,

    I recently formatted my PC and reinstalled Vista and have noticed slowdowns/freezes on every application.

    What's noticable is the clicking sound which my HDD generates right before the program unfreezes. It's a single click and it's doing it roughly every few minutes.

    Could this be the `final frontier` for my HDD?

    Any suggestions are welcome.

    Thanks in advance,
    Simon
