I installed all my updates to win2k sp4 plus all utilities
as of 16 oct 03.

everything was fine.

then i installed roxio direct cd. since then i can not
see the "properties" data when i click on a volume
displayed in the file explorer.

if, instead, i go to "computer management" and click
on "logical drives" i can see the "property display window
very well.

why should i be able to see the disk properties in
the computer management console but not from
the file manager (explorer)?

Thank you

a clue to what may be happening.....
if i click on computer management ...i do not see anything
listed under Services and Administration.

If I click on Services and Administration, then computer management process
hangs. i must kill it through the task manager.

any ideas as to what may be going on?

please help as I do not look forward to "recovery" which
will force me into reloading sp4 and then all the security
updates. never mind my applications....

go into the BIOS and change Boot order
to CD first
Boot with CD to install W2K
When prompted choose
Repair

after completion
boot and recheck
bot into BIOS
change boot order back to floppy first
