explorer.exe closing
I realize that my laptop is running slow so I checked the task manager and
saw that explorer.exe was taking up all the cpu usage (which I never saw it done before), so I tried to restart it by ending the process and run it again. I then realized that explorer.exe used up all the cpu because the window sidebar was running so I turned that off and explorer.exe didn't use that much of the cpu and everything was running smoothly again. However another problem came up that I can't figure out. explorer.exe keeps shutting off when I tried to open any window (ie. My Computer, Document, Picture). If anyone knows what I did wrong or how to fix the problem please help, thanks.

What firewall, anti-virus application or security suite is installed? There are some that cause problems which do not appear immediately. "T" wrote in message ...

McAfee is known to cause problems. Sometimes they don’t show up immediately.
Replace McAfee with the free AVG http://free.grisoft.com/ or Avast http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html, and Windows Firewall and Windows Defender. Disabling McAfee is not enough. You need to completely uninstall it. McAfee Consumer Product Removal Tool http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/U...val-Tool.shtml "T" wrote in message ...
