I have a problem. I am running an old dual celeron 1.13 ghz machine with windows xp. I just reinstalled xp, and installed sp3 after installing windows installer 3.1. Right mouse click on folders on desktop or in windows explorer hangs the application. On the desktop I have been just shutting down, and when I do it to rename or.... in explorer I can stop process. anyone know what is going on?

Open the task manager and look at your process CPU usage. You can arrange them by usage by clicking on the CPU column. Watch to see if one of those processes spike when your system is hanging.
