File Manager problems

[George]

My system seems to be acquiring more and more small problems. When I delete
or cancel items the dialogue box will not close or finish. When I try to
re-name a file the system sticks. The search facility will not only refuse
to work but sticks and jams the system. These and other small inconveniences
mean that I am forever using the Task Manager to get rid of Dialogue Boxes
and un-jam actions. Any advice as to what I should do. Also I appear to
have only one Recovery Disk for my Fujitsu Siemans 4300 @ 180 GHz running
Vista Home

One should do it. Keep it handly. Sounds like you're gonna need it.
