Explorer restarts every 5 seconds
I bought a Toshiba laptop last month. It has Vista Hom Preium on it and we've
installed Office 2007 Student. Last week it suddenly started restarting explorer repeatedly. A message startes to fade in on the bottom left of the screen (Security Center Service not running) and then explorer ends, and attempts to restart. After ~ 5 seconds it repeats the process. I've restarted in safe mode with network and it does the same thing. I can't get far enough into control panel to check the security center settings, but I can get to the task manager and I looked for a security center process and didn't see anything that was obvously that. Any suggestions? John

Explorer restarts every 5 seconds
When did this start happening?
If it has been a very recent thing, then try a System Restore. If not, I don't know of any solution other than backing up files and doing a format/reinstall of the OS.

Have you tried a system restore to before this problem appeared? -- Rock [MS-MVP User/Shell]
