For some reason, I can no longer copy/cut and paste files, and another thing I can't do is open new windows under IE. I installed SP3 and it worked fine for about a day and now it's back to square one. Anyone know what's going on? Please help! Thanks in advance.

And here's something else new- the program files in the program file folder are no longer displayed- and I cant get them to show up. I am also having difficulty fully loading web pages, particularly the patches on microsoft support...(see my other post about weird crap, no worm)
