Dear Cindy

I think Seth Goodman has answered your question already.
Under PGP 8.x, one has to start PGP Service and PGPTray
in order for the programme to work properly. If you have
right-clicked before the above 2 processes got started,
I guess the Explorer shell might be hanged.

You can simply generate a batch file to start both
PGP Service and PGPTray before start using PGP 8.x
next time.
