folder problems

[thesaintly1]

Im using windows xp, and whenever i try to "right click" on a folder to delete it or move it somewhere my machine locks up with an error message stating "dr watson debuger has a problem and needs to close". At that point i have to go into task manager and shutdown then log back on. I have used system restore which does not seem to help. Funny thing is, it does not happen always. (The word in red has to g's), but would not let put it in as it must of thought i was using bad language. (haha). Thanks in advance for any answers

Hi, could try reinstalling the latest servce pack (2) - that will solve majority of problems.

Personally I'd avoid SP2 like the plague, had several machines where it caused more trouble that it fixed.

Does this happen whenever you right click on anything else? desktop, file etc or just on folders?

If it's right click anywhere it might be your mouse software, have you got any 3rd party drivers like Logitech? or are you using default?

Thanks Ian, it is the default mouse that im using, and it just seems to be happening on folders. I have got sp2, but have absolutely no problems with it whatsoever. I really dont know much about computers at all, ive had one for a couple of months. They seem to be more trouble than they are worth

thanks sinclairzx, blimey i used to have one of those, im a bit new to this pc lark, so if i uninstall sp2 would i be able to survive without it? I just dont know what to do for the best. If you or anyone could reply again i'd appreciate it, thanks.
