Recently i've installed Windows XP Professional Corporate Edition with SP2. However lately i've been having problems opening a lot of settings, and files on my computer. For example, if i rightclick on my desktop and click properties, the hourglass will come up for about 1 second and then vanish, and nothing will come up. This also happens to pretty much every item in Control Panel, and I also cannot launch URL links from AIM. I've tried restoring to an earlier date using System Restore but every few days the problem will return. Does anyone have any idea what I could do? :-(

Nevermind. It was a pesky virus that didn't show up on Mcafee :-)
