Are you running Windows XP Professional, with IIS installed? If so, read

Let your Firewall Program (Norton Internet Security in my case), to "Allow
All" for inetinfo.exe and reboot.

An easy way to see if this is potentially your problem is to look for the
Status of World Wide Web Publishing Services. If it says "Starting", then
you have this problem. After allowing all for
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\inetinfo.exe" in my Firewall program settings,
and rebooting, not only did my Properties Window show up again, but the
system boots much more quickly.
