weird PC problemo.

Yeah this is weird.

I go to launch a file or folder, or even bring up the right click menu, and my PC will hang forever trying to do it. I have scaned it for errors, even defraged it, and nothing seems to work. I have checked the cpu usages to see if something is sucking cycles and its still low, even when I launch said program.

I have no idea whats going on. Any body have a clue?

Re: weird PC problemo.

Right click menu will be looking for your other drives I think, thats why whenever I right click folder stuff my cdroms and things start lighting up, that could be the slowdown
