I have had a strange behavior for a while. When I right click on a file in
explorer, the system immediately tries to load Macromedia Contribute. It
ultimately fails (I had to change some HD locations of some applications and
the system is confused about where they are) or I can "Cancel" three time and
it gives up. Then it allows me to do what I was trying to do (rename, copy,
delete, or whatever).

Any ideas what is going on or how to fix it?

Hello,

A lot of people had this problem (I found 2).

You may find a solution amongst them if no one assists you.

One solution posted was to reinstall contribute.
