mandrake 8.0 experts...how come it won't accept changes to security settings??

well after a possible hack last week that was a pain in the as* i have reinstalled and i am setting up my security settings before i connect to the internet this time...

problem is that when i try to change the security setting using in the control setting the left panel (where the change is made) turns gray and the mouse pointer turns into a watch and stays like this for 20 minutes plus... i finally gave up and after reopening the security window i seems to be unchanged...

is it supposed to take more than 20 minutes?
its not like i have a slow computer??
how do i raise the security level, is there another way to change it??

thanks
