Windows XP Navigation Problem

[Jimmy211]

When I use any MS Office program and open the navigation window to open a file, the 'Open' dialog box comes up but doesn't allow me to use the 'Look In' drop down box to search for a directory. The box freezes up the program which then crashes.

I tried repairing XP Office, but I suspect the problem is windows. I tried the 'sfc /scannow' commandline prompt but it didn't find any problems.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Never mind. I had a network share mapped on the pc to a server that was no longer there. It was taking a long time to try and find it but couldn't. I deleted the link and now the open dialog box works fine.

Thanks.
