[whoopy_whale]

I've got a strange problem...I can't right click on a file..When I right click on something other than folders,for example,a file a message is shown and all windows are closed and the desktop loads again.
This is the message I've been getting...

I can't even delete a file...renaming by pressing F2 is possible,but pressing the Del key will the same error...
What should I do?Plz help...

1.) try scanning for viruses/trojens/malware etc.
2.)try running sfc and replacing the corrupted system files from ur OS installation CD,,,

Seems that explorer.exe file has been corrupt!
Try to replace it with another one. U can extract it from XP Setup CD.

I had these errors when my SMPS was gonna conk off and my RAM was fluctuating. It always occured for me when I ran VB 6.0

[Rollercoaster]

yes most prob the ram is bad.

in ur BIOS switch off the quick POST and boot

[paul_007]

definitely there is problem in explorer.exe, try to repair ur XP, all the corrupted files would be automatically repaired

If problem does not solve by replacing explorer.exe then try to replace RAM chip and check.

The System Properties show that my PC is Celeron 2.4 GHz,112MB of RAM.Rather new one actually.
I don't have the OS CD with me now.After I repair the files as suggested by you people,I'll post thye results.Thanks for the suggestions
I've installed Visual studio and it takes up a lot of time to load too..

If you are on pirated xp it'll be difficult and illegal to help you out.
All I can say is get an XP cd from your friend or from somewhere and use that.
