Hiya,

I cant get system properties up by any method, (I.E right clicking on my computer and selecting properties).  This means I cant get to see any of the computer properties or system restore properties.  I have done malware and virus checks and they have come back clear.  Please Help

Regards

Phil

    Hiya Tricky Hiya Elizabeth,

    Sorry I havent replied but been tied up and this is the first chance I have had to install service pack 3.  I have just completed the installation and low and behold I now have the properties back :) I no this probably don't solve whatever issues there is, but thought I would let you know that your suggestion worked and maybe will work for someone else in the future.

    Once again thank you both for all your help and advice.

    Regards

    Phil

    Thanks for the feedback Phil. I'm glad we eventually got to a fix (if not the cause).
