Windows XP Right Click Bug*

[war59312]

Well just five minutes ago I experienced my first right click bug.

See:



Well according to microsoft to workaround this bug you disable this option "Use the following transition effect for menus and tooltips".

Or first left click on the file then right click.

Well I did that and it still locked explorer at 98% as you can see. Even though its really 100%.

Wost thing about it was that I had to restart because it locked explorer.exe for 15 min minutes and loging off would not work. POS!! It would of been ok if it did it for five secs. and I would not have even noticed, but no it just had to piss me off.

Ant that a pos. Anyone else experience this.

I am planning on sending a few complaints to microsoft, as I've heard that microsoft is not going to fix it. At least not in sp2 or anytime soon. Something about that they (microsoft) would have to rewrite windows, or some shit.

So if I can add your name to the list maybe microsoft will finally fix the damn shit and not just expect every user to disable an option or even for that matter even know about the work around.

My brother had this happen to him three times yesterday. Mind you he does not know a clue about computers so he thought he fu**** it up. So he ended up just getting pissed. I don't blame since microsoft knows about the problem and has refused to fix it in a timely manner. If you know otherwise, please by all means explain.

Just thought I would share that with everyone. So please post if you had this happen and the name you want me to use in my list.

Already have about 50 people. Maybe microsoft will listen to its customers. lol Yea right. But it won't hurt.

cya,
Will

All right cool.

Make that 82 users.

But what processor where u using when this problem occurred?

Just wondering because for everyone's name (or nick) I am including what processor they have so microsoft knows that its for everyone not just a few. Or so it seems.

So far 47 people in my list were using a pentium to pentium four processor or other intel processor. The rest all use AMD.

So I know it is not just for intel or amd.

Thats if even the processor has anything to do with it.
