Control panel and Right Click don't work

message from YmK on 13 Jun 2004
I have a problem with Windows XP Home edition.
For some reason when I right click on my desktop nothing (the context menu)
appears and when I go to the Control Panel I see all the icons but when I
double click on any option, nothing happens.
Can anyone help me with this problem?

Thanks in advance.
