This relates to XP Home (OEM Dell) version. When using
any program that is suppose to see the hard drives, CD,
etc., such as Windows Explorer that opens "My Computer",
once clicked to see drives, nothing happens. The
hourglass is acting as if something is going on but
nothing shows up. Basically explorer hangs up and 'end
task' has to be done in the task manager. If XP Home is
run in the 'safe mode', everything works as far as seeing
the drives. Has a permission been changed to cause this
and if so, which one?

Help appreciated
 
The first message was posted from the Microsoft web site. Had no idea
there was 69,000+ headers. I did a search through the entire group
and see that any time someone had a similar problem, no answer was
given by anyone. Is it that hard a problem for you geniuses? Is a
reinstall in order to fix this?
