Problems with the "Right-click" menu pop up.

[Gunblade]

This has been bugging me for a while now and it just seems to get worse. Everytime I click on an icon on the desktop or folders or sub folders (everything else is fine) It hangs the PC for literally a minute or even 2 minutes before it appears. This all started to happen once the A: went loco and decided to eat up a disk. The disk was forced out and the A: pretty much stopped working. Latetr I disabled the A drive a took out the cables etc. Still the problem persists and PC diagnostic programs do jack. Any help? Please...... http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif

A little more info would be helpful... you said the disk was forced out...is this a plain old floppy or an LS120?

Some more specs would also be helpful.

Check the performance tab in systems properties, are you running in MS-DOS compat. mode?

Hmm, From what i understand you have no floppy drive. Try going into your BIOS and telling it to report no floppy drive for windows. Or Just get a new floppy drive. how much could it cost? Its a damn floppy drive!

Actually going into Bios doesn't work. Tried that, and it's a 3.5 inch floppy.

Run scandisk.
As a test disable any anti-virus software.

Ain't that. Disabe3d all virus scans... Scanned the disk over and over. And First Aid 97 doesn't say anything. Neither does any othger thing...

Boot into safe mode and remove the "A" drive. Reboot and test.

If it still fails to perform then try the steps in this KB aritcle: Q189518 (http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q189/5/18.ASP?LN=EN-US&SD=gn&FR=0&qry=Q189518&rnk=1&src=DHCS_MSPSS_gn_SRCH&SPR=CHS)

The aritcle is not specific to your problem, but the solution may work for you.


Good luck http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif
