Hi,

I recently upgraded from windows 98se to windows xp.
There were no errors generated during the upgrade but now
I have a problem. I cannot go into "My Computer", select
a device, i.e the C drive, and select Properties from the
pulldown menu. It generates an explorer error and closes
the My Computer window. I can get to the drive through
the adminstrative tools from the control panel.

Has anyone heard of or dealt with this problem before? As
far as I can tell everything else is fine.

Thanks for your assistance,
Dave
 
Sounds like it just kind of messed up a bit in the upgrade process.
Check for updates on http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com . Since you just
upgraded you probably don't have Service Pack 1a installed. This will
overwrite most of the system files with newer ones and hopefully fix
your problem :)
