last resort can ya'll help?!

Okay what would cause the "Properties" to not show up in Explorer and My Computer? The computer wont let me see/set the HDD properties at all. I cant even view the My Computer properties when right-clicked.

Any ideas? Im running W2K Advanced Server.

properties isn't showing up in the context menu? are you the admin?

It shows up but it never "launches" it and all I did was hit the reset button when the damn thing lock up hard as a rock on suday. It's not my fault the stupid this is as stable as a drunk'n sailor on a boat. :| Yes I'm logged in as the admin.

You click it but it doesn't launch???? I must say well done for generating that error. Do you have another Win2K Adv. Server machine around. I have an idea, that being that the windows explorer files are corrupt as they are usually open while windows is running and carry a possibility of being corrupted.

The problem is that explorer itself rely's on several DLL module files to carry out several different tasks. Out of interest, if you right-click on the windows background and select 'properties', does the display properties window appear and function correctly?

yeah that works vss I just cant view the properties on any drive through My Computer or Windows Explorer.

a long shot but worth looking into, this could be a virus :Q

i had a trojan on my moms machine that wouldnt let you do certain things in explorer, like it was tring to keep you from finding out certain things the virus was up to.

I'll load one and see what that does.
