'My Computer'. File Open hangs also.

Any error messages, you may want to expand a little more on the issue since what you explained could be a variety of different issues.

May want to open a DOS window and run CHKDSK/F or CHKDSK/R (Repair). Also run defrag. Usually a sign of data corruption/file fragmentation for the hanging.

Request for more info was appropriate.

Run Windows Explorer and see if it will open a tree and show file information. Explorer is the file handler in all versions of Windows beginning with Win 95.

If Explorer is corrupt, you cannot access files period and My Computer is just another Explorer window.
