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?

i have another PC about 10 feet away on the same wireless network that im sharing a folder with, yes.

????

THanks.

Check your file settings.

Is this the same computer you had to do an in place install on like a week ago? :1orglaugh

I'd run Adaware too for good measure.

Actually, no... this is the one I was talking to you on.

Im curious to know what MrThumbs is talking about since I just connected the two pc's via wireless 2 days ago.

Possibly a fucked shell extention entry in teh registry.

you could try cleaning your registry with the regvac trial verson

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.

yep time for the cleaners!
