cannot access property box

[kolakubes]

Hihi.

For some stranger reasons, i cant seens to access the properties dialog boxes , if i right click the c drive and select properties, nothing happens, if i open up files within the drive and do the same thing,nothing happens, i ve scanned it with anti-virus programs and nothing turned up.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many Thx

Do you have local admin permissions with your account?

If any of the services that are required to populate the tabs of a Drive or Folder property sheet are not running, this will happen.

I have yet to see a satisfactory resolution of this other than a re-installation. If you have been modifying the startup desposition of services on your machine, you might consider restoring them to their defaults.

If you have not been modifying the services entries, reinstallation of your last service pack is recommended.

At last i found the solution. Uninstall all the service packs you have installed. Thats the only way to tackle this problem. Otherwise a clean install is the only way. If you find any other solutions, please let me know.

Cheers
