Hello ESRIArcGISGISsters,
It appears my problems were Windows XP and Java related. I deleted a Java
dll and running this line in
start/run: "regsvr32 jscript.dll" solved the problem.
I did get some helpfull answers but they didn´t solve, but could help
others with similar problems.
Thanks!!!!

This may or may not help, but you could try removing your ArcMap Tool layout.
Delete (or move to a different location) this file:
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application
Data\ESRI\ArcMap\Templates\Normal.mxt
Where UserName is the Windows account you login as.

Before you reinstalled, did you delete the C:\Documents and
Settings\UserName\Application Data\ESRI folder. Paul mentioned deleting the
Normal.mxt, but when I do a cleanup after a class, or when things go
squirrelly, I delete the entire SERI folder under the application folder.
This has settings for ArcMap, ArcCatalog, etc, and after you get rid of
this, ArcMap rebuilds all these to the defaults.

By arctools you mean ArcToolbox ?
Is it possible the tool is working OK and there is something about the data
causing fields to be greyed out ? Feel free to send me screenshots of the
problem if that helps.
Worst case, something might have clobbered a dll or caused a registry
problem. If so, may have to uninstall and reinstall ArcGIS. If you've
already done that, not sure what else to suggest, other than a system
rebuild. If you're experiencing other system performance problems, that may
be the way to go.

Are your Service Pack intallations up to date? I seem to recall that
one of the later 9.2 Service Packs fixed a disappearing Toolbox issue
for us that was originally caused by a conflict with Internet
Explorer 8 (or one of the components installed by it).
Here's the last Service Pack for 9.2 on ESRI's site:

Hello SCGISseters,
I have a Lenovo T60 and using ArcGIS 9.2. Recently things started getting
very slow, so I ran Hijacthis to remove many of the background processes
that were stealing memory. This is a freeware to remove spyware and other
processes. I have done this from time to time for years without problems.
This time I have lost my ability to use arctools. On the tool window the
locations to load data for example in "Feature Class to Geodatabase"
shows a gray field and then above it "label". Most other areas but not
all are grayed out. I tried reinstalling, restoring in Hijacthis the
processes I deleted, restoring to last good configuration in Windows XP,
updating Java, etc All to no avail.
What may I have removed and what do I need to do to replace it.
Thanks,
bruce
