windows xp help please

[tonyzero]

i have nothing displayed in my device panel and if i try and open my computer it takes ages to open even in windows explorer some other functions are also slow, like 30sec to open.

what can i do to fix it ?

create a new windows user account and see if that has the same problem..

if your pc is going weird, then get straight to the panel like this..

start, run, control userpasswords

uphclean.exe might be worth installing to see if it fixes it

new user account didn't make any difference and uphclean didn't either

oh well it looks like i will have to gear my self up for a new install.
