When I start My computer.. a little window comes up saying something like...
Explorer.exe has got into a problem and has to quit.. kinda..
I press the little button saying ''close'' Then this thing comes up called DRWatson, I press The X there and then it kind of restarts.. and then the window saying :''Explorer.exe has got into a problem and has to quit'' so the whole thing just loops.. during this time.. The entire bar down in screen.. ( the one with time and start and stuff) completely frozes.. This just pisses me off..
I mean.. Its totally cool. I can explore my computer with that ctrl+alt+delete...
What do I do..?? I've like tried everything...
Also.. It would be best for u to PM me the answers to this thread..



Also.. I deeply apologise for my bad grammer..

Go back to a restore point from before that started to happen.
You probably installed something that doesn't run too well with your computer.

Also run a virus scan, just in case.

Sounds like a virus or corrupted file...

Download some other browser. Find the Internet Explorer files and delete them, or have an anti-virus do it. And download it again from Microsoft.

The files should be located in:

C(or the letter assigned to your drive. It's usually C):\Program Files\Internet Explorer

Same thing happened to me. Some virus got in through IE. I ditched it, loaded up a restore point and downloaded FF along with Adblock Plus.
ummm.... you both know that explorer.exe is completely different to iexplorer.exe don't you? it's a computer related issue not related to IE, but do what Captain Planet said, since that's your best choice but if it fails you'll have to format the computer

I know. But I had the same problem. I was stating a virus got in through IE and caused what was happening.

Ahh... ERm... :X

I did more research and I think you could replace the app with usermade shells. But I'm not sure about costs. Try Googling it.
