Title: EEEP! Any win2k users read
Post by: vyper on August 30, 2002, 04:37:15 pm: This is my second major screwup in 7 days (dunno wots happening) but suddenly today, whenever you try to right click an item in the gui, explorer stops responding and loops with the little hour-glass.

Anyone else had this?

If nothing helps, then reinstall. :)

Post by: vyper on August 31, 2002, 05:33:25 am: Update - I'm going to do a complete back up of all my personal data and then wipe the system, reinstall and hopefully my problems will be over. (I already reinstalled windows without reformatting, didn't fix anything).

:wtf: :nervous: :wtf: :( :eek2:

So I may be off for a day or two until I actually get things running.

Post by: Stunaep on August 31, 2002, 08:36:02 am: BTW, a very good trick mentioned here before was to create 2 virtual HD Drives, one for operating system only. Then when your OS is screwed, you can reformat the virtual drive with OS only, leaving all your private stuff untouched.
