Cannot opemn MY Comuter

[Mel]

When I click on My Computer it takes about 10 minutes and then only
goes to the desktop.

If I right click start and go to EXPLORE it opens with everthing
closed up. I then try to expand MY Computer but it won't open.

If I open Office 2003 (WORD) and do a file open new the box that you
navigate in locks up.

I can open Word files only from the files themselves but not from
within Word.

Any suggestions?

You might have a hard drive that's failing. If you have multiple
drives, disconnect all but your boot drive and see if your system peps up.

You should probably reinstall winXP

I fixed the problem bu using a Windows Restore Point a few days back.
What a wonderful sight to see all the drives again and have My Network
Places working again.
