any idea why my screen switches modes (click-black-click back tonormal) any time I right click on video files?

Also does it if I select several files to delete. This is rather
annoying when I'm cleaning up, does this on AVI, MPG and probably others.

Tried searching with no luck (kinda hard to search for problem).

should have made the subject more clear. Whenever I right click on a
media file, the screen switches modes (you know, with a nice 'click')
and then back.. not that I click on the file and it switches then click
on the file and it switches back.

If I understand the problem correctly, when playing video's the display
screen sync's on the video and you lose the toolbars, etc. When you stop or
click back you restore the full screen.

If so, please clarify what the display device is and the video card.

No thoughts from anyone? Seems I may just back down to Win2K, which
always seemed to work much better that XP anyway.
