Win XP Problems

edited September 2003 in Science & Tech
Whenever I right click a file or desktop shortcut the system locks up. If I highlight files and press Cut/Copy/Paste etc, again same problem.

Ctrl/Alt/Del will bring up the Task Manager and I can end the task but it's getting very annoying.

Any ideas???

    havnt really run into this problem myself. But try doing a scan for virus'. The other thing that you could try is repairing your install of XP. If you have quick restore in some form or another you could also try that. and dont do this yet becasue there are older and wiser heads here than me, reformatting always seems to work

    Thx Stalker,

    I am paranoid about viruses and do a daily scan. I have been unable to restore, it always fails.

    I had a similar issue last week. Have you installed any software that requires the scheduler to run? My problem was the MSI liveupdate3 software. I sorted the problem by going into services and disable Task manager. Don't forget to stop the service first.
