Problem With Windows Explorer? [PLEASE HELP GUYS!]
 
I have Windows Vista and today my computer was working fine and then suddenly I got a pop up saying:

'Windows Explorer has stopped working' followed by 'Windows Explorer is restarting...'

And this causes the computer to generally be annoying, lag and slow down.
This happens OVER...and OVER..and OVER again.

I get a bubble Bottom Right of the screen saying to 'Turn on Security Center' to fix the problem.
So I try to and it tells me 'Security Center was unable to run'.

Apparently this is down to McAfee Security automatically turning Security Centre off, so I tried Un-Installing McAfee, but I couldn't get onto Control Panel because the computer KEEPS crashing.

I even system restored the computer back to Friday afternoon, and it's STILL doing it.

What should I do honestly?

Use the install DVD that came with your computer.

Stu 10-04-2011 09:05 PM

Do you really want to reinstall the entire OS for what could be some mundane routine problem? Check all other possible avenues first. Reinstalling should be a last resort.

That's what I was thinking Stu.

I keep checking everywhere for answers but no one knows.
I ran a Malware Scan thing earlier and it took 4 and half hours, bit long.

Get rid of McAfee for starters

takes up huge space on your HD.

Yeah, I tried and it wouldn't let me on the Control Pannel without crashing.

I literally have about 4 seconds to myself before the computer freezes again, it's a joke.

You could try removing McAffee while in safe mode, malwarebytes should also run faster if you do it in safe mode.

Zippy 10-04-2011 09:26 PM

DL Revo uninstaller. It clears up all the bits that can be left behind by windows own uninstaller. They can cause problems later.

Patrick 10-04-2011 09:48 PM

Thanks Josy and Zippy - will give those ideas a crack tomorrow.
