When in my computer or windows explorer and I right click my 3 1/2 floppy drive the computer hangs. This also happens if I highlight the floppy drive and click on the file pull down menu. What causes this and how can it be fixed.

Sounds like the drivers have gotten corrupted.

Have your tried removing them from device manager and rebooting? Have you recently installed any new hardware or software? What OS are you using?

The first answer is good but try another floppy drive and see if it still happens. If it does try a new cable and then go to one of the free virus scanning sites and run the scan. Virus can do strange things to floppys and boot sectors.
