Win XP Probelms...

[lap1314134]

Alright, so here's story...earlier this week my pc's files start to get corrupted so I reinstall the Windows XP. Now that I've reinstall my Windows XP, I ran into 2 problems and would be appreciate if anyone could help or direct me to the solution...

Problem 1. I download the ATI graphic driver from ATI website...after installation, each time when my PC reboots, the stupid ATI folder pops up each and every time...really bugs me...

Problem 2. When I use the right click button of my mouse and select "new" from the right click menu, my pc like frozes for a min or two and then it load up the sub-menu of "new". I find it sooooooooooo annoying because something I would highlight it by accient and it will free...

******AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH*******

Any help would be appreciated...thanks!

i'm not sure wat you mean by "the stupid ATI folder pops up" do you mean their logo or an actual folder?

Yea, I mean the actual folder...the folder where the software is installed to. For instance, I install the ATI software to "C:\program files\ati\support\<software directory>". Each time, I restart windows, the C:\program files\ati folder always start up by itself...is there a way to disable it?

Also, thanks for the link, but unforunately that isn't really my problem. I have no problem when I right click on a folder or a file. I'm having problem when I right click on a empty space on in a folder and selecting "new." When it highlight "new", it takes forever to load the folder below that...the menu that contains "new folder" "new notepad"...did I clarify myself? thanks once again...

type msconfig in the the run box and go to the start up tab and see if you can disable the ati folder from there
