On the processes tab, locate explorer.exe and select it, then click 'end process'. This should clear the desktop save the background. Now move to the applications tab and click on 'new task'. Type in explorer.exe and click ok to reload the desktop. Try clicking on some icons, does it work now? If so, then you have something loading at boot that is interfering with the desktop. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - http://www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Eleanor" wrote in message news:7DE83317-1AA3-4E74-A3AE-628B3213FFAD@microsoft.com...

I also can't right click on my desktop or anything. I can right click on websites and things, but for some reason I can't do it on my desktop. I'm running on (a pretty new) laptop. From the little touchpad icon at the bottom of the screen, I can see that the right click button goes on when I do it, but there is no response. I'm running on Microsoft Vista Home Premium. Any help would be greatly appreciated. On Monday, July 28, 2008 9:41 PM Rick Rogers wrote: Hi Eleanor,Hit ctrl+shift+escape to open Task Manager.
