Mouse malfunctioning

Every time that I right click to edit or delete my PC freezes. Two error messages appear, windows explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close, and DrWatson Post-mortem Debugger has encountered a problem and needs to close. The errors are listed in the event log but I don’t know how to copy them so that I can post them here to try and give more info for this problem. Many thanks in advance for help with the above.http://www.d-a-l.com/help/images/smilies/rockon.gif

Shell
--------------------------------------------------
Go to Start/Run and type in:

regsvr32 /i shell32

Click OK.

Restart your computer.

Thanks for the quick reply Jephree, but still have the same problem. Also just tried to delete some shortcuts that are kept in a folder on desktop. Manage to open up the edit ok but when selecting file the same errors appear again.

You could try ShellExView to see if there are any faulty entries:

You can also post the Event Viewer errors. There is a copy/paste icon when you open the details of an error.

You can also try HijackThis as this issue is symptomatic of some infections.
