Windows Explorer stops working - often
Recently when I drag files between folders the system freezes and I get
popup with "Windows Explorer has stopped working" which lasts around 15 seconds and it recovers itself, any tips on how to solve this? Using Vista SP2, MS Office 97 Thanks |

Using Vista SP2, MS Office 97 Thanks You don't say which version of Vista you're running, ie 64 bit or 32 bit. If you installed updates over the past week, the problem may just be the one for IE (see attachment). I use 64 bit and no problem with IE but I do get an error now on AUR not running. Everything was fine until I \ installed the updates. A system recover prior to the updates runs just fine. Has to be something in the other updates for me. JS |

JS You say you have a 32 bit system so I'm not sure the update is the same for you. It's KB2722913 Cumulative security update for IE9. It may be a different number for your 32 bit system. And it looks like no jpg's are allowed in this group. I tried to send it 2 times with XNews and once with Power Post. Both said accepted but I don't see the attachment anywhere. Good luck. JS |

Using Vista SP2, MS Office 97 Thanks I get this message when I am clicking my mouse too quickly. Therefore I advise you to slow down your operation. Harry. |
