Right click context menu functionality completely stopped working. No response at all regardless of what I right-click on. It seems to have started after uninstalling Nostromo n50 game controller software. Tried different mouse, uninstalling mouse in dev mgr, system restore to time before uninstall, creating new user, safe mode, no luck. Help please! TIA

have you looked at the mouse properties in the control panel to see if it's set-up as normal; e.g. has the mouse been set to switch left and right clicks or something else?
probably not the answer you are looking for but worth a quick look.

Check your registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoViewContextMenu
0 - context menu enabled
1 - context menu disabled
(note the key may not exist, in which case it isn't the cause of your problem)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoViewContextMenu
