    context menu doesn't appear sometimes

    I have a new Fujitsu-Siemens PC with Windows Vista Home Premium.



    Sometimes, when I right-click any item (folder or file) in Windows explorer,
    the context menu doesn't appear or has less options than usual. I have to
    close some windows (IE, Windows Mail, Windows Explorer...) to get the context
    menu working again. But, a few minutes later, it doesn't work again, and I
    have to close more windows... until I have no windows to close. Then, I have
    to reboot.

    This has happened to me many times. I've reinstalled Windows Vista but it
    started to happen again.

    Can anyone help?
    Thanks
