TC hangs when using right mouse button on drive root

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Hi everybody. After using DOpus for a few years I thought I'd give TC a try since x64 is now supported.
Sadly today I ran into this same bug.
I have windows 7 x64 OS and I have VMware installed.
I used ShellExView x64 and disabled all extensions other then the operating system ones. Still the problem persists.

As I read earlier in this thread I can confirm after starting TC and rightclick on C: first and then on F: is working with no problem.
But starting TC and just rightclick F: makes TC hang/crash.

I installed TC 7.56a.

Interesting. DOpus shows the same behaviour. So, nothing to do with TC.

I got similar problem, but when right-click on folder. I found something like workaround: after TC's launching right-click first ON FILE in any folder. Right click menu works - and then right-click works also on folders/drivers .

Just wanted you guys to know. I've got exact the same behavior as described in this topic (my OS is W7 x64). The extension which caused TC hangup is Acrobat Elements Context Menu. The problem raised when I upgraded from Acrobat 9 to X.

I see - so there is very little chance to get it fixed. :(

I have the same weird behaviour. I want to make a folder under the main directory of my backup drive, yet TC hangs... Only work around is to make the folder, under another folder and than move the folder under the main root.

Just use <F7> in the root path instead of the right-click context menu.</OT>

After reinstallation of Acronis True Image everything OK

Just in case someone stumbles over this thread when looking for a solution: in my case the deinstallation of Acronis True Image rendered the context menu in Total Commander unusable (always froze). After reinstallation everything was okay again!

That means that the Acronis uninstall leaves context handlers in the registry but the files are removed.
Uninstall it again and search the registry for all left over entries.
