Right click on desktop not working?

from Stardock Forums

I downloaded objectdock yesterday, and it has been working like a charm. I love it, and I prefer it over the default windows taskbar. 

However, I was playing Maplestory this afternoon, and my keyboard stopped working, so I restarted the computer. After restarting, my Objectdock settings had been deleted, and there were no icons on the dock. As a result, I put all my icons back onto the dock. However, when i tried to right click on my desktop to set show desktop icons, the context menu would not pop up. How can I get it to show again?

I am running Windows XP Service Pack 3.

Edit: I am also running Rainmeter on my computer, I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Edit #2: When opening Display options from the Control Panel, the window crashes when i click on the "Desktop" tab.
