Eplorer lockup

Thread needs solution

Hi ive recently upgraded? from 2012 to 2013. I have plus pack but its not installed. I noticed a little time after installing that I had the dreaded "right click desktop lockout" Mr google made plenty of suggestions about this well documented problems, and I found that when the lockout occurs I could kill and reopen explorer and all was good to go again. There seemed no rhyme or reason when the lockup would occur.

I ran "shellexview" and disabled all non microsoft shell extensions and voila, a week later no lockups. The only recent software installed of late was ati2013 and avast program update. By trial and error ive disabled/enabled extension and isolated the problem to the 5 acronis entries, in fact with everything enabled except acronis extensions I have no problem.

Is this a known issue and/or what is the recommended fix?

Sorry about the long post, but i believe that's a full explanation

It is possible the upgrade didn't install correctly. The first thing is to download the latest build 6541 (unless of course that is the build you are using), uninstall 2013, reboot, install the latest build again.

See if the problem goes away, if it doesn't the next step would be to run the Acronis cleaner and then install 2013.

I uninstalled ati2013, ran the cleaner and reinstalled. Seems i now have 7 shell extensions (all now enabled) instead of 5 previously. I have stopped the nonstop and sync agent services, and timounter startup service. All good to go TODAY, Will let you know?

Thank you for the prompt response
