When I go to "My Documents" or "My Computer" and then
right click on a file or a specific drive, it
automatically turns into an hourglass eternally and I
can't close that window. Please help!

Dear Kelly,
Thank you very much for your response, but that is not
the case for me. The CPU usage is not affected, and I've
also turned the Effects under Appearance, Properties, but
the problem was not solved. Do you know of any other
reasons? Thanks again, Meeko.
