Other people have posted the 'normal' answers to this. However I have 
seen one 'other' that might apply. I had a machine that behaves as 
you describe, and it turned out that somebody had 'fiddled' with 
ATTRIB. I printed out the ATTRIB settings for the Windows directory, 
and compared them with the machine, and changed the attributes back 
on a couple of files. It then all worked. Fun huh :-)

Best Wishes
