Question properties tabs

something weird happens when i right click on my desktop and choose properties... It opens but the tabs arent showing and i'll get lucky every now and then and i'll click where they should be and a random one would come up. Any solutions on how to fix this?

sounds like a virus. I think reinstalling windows is the best option or you could just change the display properties in control panel.

Re-installing windows is not the solution to all problems, he probably is infected by malware, if i were him i'd do a scan with hiJackthis and SmitFraudFix.

or alternatively post your log here so we can help

cheers
