MANEMAN Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hi Language & Welcome.Basically it sounds as if the computer is hanging (State of limbo) when you try to get to these settings. Does it happen in any other situation ?Could be just as simple as needing a good defrag. When did you last do it ? Have you done any cleanup operations lately to keep things running smoothly?

language Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 No it doesn't happen in any other situation. I tried defragmenting and it still doesn't work. I used c cleaner yesterday. Another thing I should mention is the hourglass only hangs around for a sec. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANEMAN Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 You could try a System Restore point back to a time before this started happening. ** SYSTEM RESTORE INFORMATION ** Or do a Windows XP Repair. *** REPAIR GUIDE *** I cannot think of any particular reason why you are having this trouble and I cant find any other information on the subject.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Can you find anything in the Event Viewer about this, at the time when you tried to launch it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
