"MY Computer" open or explore freezes
When I try to open "My Computer" or even 'explore' it hangs
and never opens. I am then forced to force close the window that is sitting there. I have run a check for spyware and a full anti-virus check. I am on SP1, on XP pro on a network. I had noticed that when I open a box to 'save' or 'open file' it was taking a while to open, and now this has developed. Has anyone any idea of what is happening? Many thanks, Ellie |

Run error checking Need help? Open help and support and
search for "error checking" Beyond that I would check what running via windows task manager. Is there an application that hogging your pc. If so, investigate -----Original Message----- When I try to open "My Computer" or even 'explore' it hangs and never opens. I am then forced to force close the window that is sitting there.

"MY Computer" open or explore freezes
Thanks for the reply.
I see that in order to check for errors, I have to open My Computer.... which I am unable to do. There is no application that has changed or is new, but I will test by cutting down all progs on opening. My memory is 1.5 G (don't remember the type, but very expensive and fast as I work with large graphics files), so should not be a problem, and has not been in the past. I have a partitioned disk, if that changes things. -----Original Message----- Run error checking Need help?

I think this is related to a problem with my external
firewire CD burner having a problem with a connection. I just discovered that this is not working. Should be able to sort it. Thanks Ellie |
