    computer hanging when i right click on a file or folder.

    This is really wierd. When I right click on a file or folder, the hourglass comes on and hangs for like 30 seconds then the menu pops up. if i try and close the windows while waiting, it goes to "end task". I have restarted a few times and it keeps doing this. Anyone have a clue why? Thanks.

    you have any network connections to other computers?

    Like shared folders on your laptop that is currently not connected?

        Check your file settings.

            I'd run Adaware too for good measure.

                  Possibly a fucked shell extention entry in teh registry.

                  you could try cleaning your registry with the regvac trial verson

                  http://www.soft32.com/download_9085.html

                  Then you could try a system restor to a time before the problem started (as a last resort)


                  IF it is a shared folders problem check your computer for any Mapped network drives and disconnect them.

                  Amen
