Whenever I right click on an icon, it takes about 15 seconds to bring up the menu, and during that time the mouse is extremely laggy. I cant understand why this is happening, any ideas?

are you running alot of programs, or using alot of resources?

win i start using alot of resources things slow down abit. things take longer to open

edit your system with msconfig, under display properties uncheck effects that may slow system down, and increase ram.

thats what i did.

somebody jump in if its something else.

Did you install latest drivers for your mobo's chipset ? Set swap file to auto values, defragment your HD ?

It's in Control Panel > System > Advanced > Virtual Memory.

The more "helper" programs you install, the more items show up in the Context Menu (right-click). The more items, the slower it opens.

Norton may be slowing you down. Try restarting the PC without it running and check again.
