Radeon 9000 Pro - Cannot Right Click Desktop

[YouKilledMe1st]

I'm running an XP machine and recently installed an AGP ATI Radeon 9000 Pro video card. Now that it is installed I can no longer right click on the desktop for any purpose (make a folder, pull up the display options, etc) but rather have to either go through c: to make a new folder or Control Panel to change display options. I had this same problem with another card I installed it was a Jaton (I forget the exact product).

What happens is when I right click on the desktop. The screen loses all icons and the start menu disappears then they all slowly reappear and a box pops up asking me if I want to report this error to MS.


It's all rather disconcerting as I reflexively right click on desktop to do any manner of things. I CAN right click on desktop icons and use the associated tasks however.

I have tried reconfiguring back to VGA and then reinstalling the ATI drivers, updating the chipset, removing and updating intellipoint and mouse drivers. Removing the USB that shares the same IRQ with the card, turning down hardware acceleration, and I just can't seem to get to the root of the problem.

Has anyone any knowledge of this type of problem?

Thanks in advance.
