Desktop and Windows Explorer will not refresh
I am using a windows xp pc here. I am having a laptop. When I start my pc it works fine for few couple of minutes. But suddenly it crashes when I try to open any web browser or application. Also when I try to go inside the C or D drive the same thing appear. I am stuck with the issue and not able to find any solution for the same. I am looking for some solution that can help me to fix the issue. I cannot open anything. While if I do nothing the system works fine.
RE: Desktop and Windows Explorer will not refresh
I got the same issue a few week ago. The system just was not stable at all. I tried plenty of things but nothing worked. The last thing I did is simply formatted my pc and installed windows xp back from scratch. It worked fine. There was no issue at all. It is a bit complicated sometime to deal with such problem. The only thing you can do here is backup your data first as soon as you can and then go ahead with clean installation. That will be more appropriate.
Re: Desktop and Windows Explorer will not refresh
You can run a repair setup of windows here. Just restart your pc and boot from Windows CD. In that hit R to run the repair setup. That will be more easier for you to fix the problem. The repair setup will just replace the damage system files without making any major changes of complete format. It is still recommended that you backup your data first and then go ahead with the setup. So that will be more simple for you to fix the problem you are facing.
