My computer is running XP Pro SP2 with AMD Athlon XP 2100+ CPU running on MSI
K7T266Pro2RU motherboard. Just yesterday I discovered that I cannot open the
Network connections or the System applet. It does not matter how I get to
them. If I go through the Control Panel and click on System or Network
Connections, it just sits there. If I bring up the task manager, I see
varying CPU usage by the Explorer process, but that is it. The result is the
same if I right click on "My Computer" or "My Network Places" and choose
"Properties". I tried rolling back to an earlier Restore Point, but it
behaved the same. I had done no software installations. I did recently
install a Creative Modem Blaster PCI modem a few weeks back, but it had been
working fine up until yesterday. I have the latest Mcafee Virusscan and I ran
a complete search and it found nothing. I am not sure what to do besides
reloading, but I was hoping that someone has seen this before?
Thanks,
Conrad
