I was runing a game in my computer it was working perfectly........but for some reason it got hanged so i directly rebooted the computer.......!
but after rebooting the computer nothing was there on the desktop ........
So i used task manager to lacate it all.......like to load explorer.exe file...........but it doesn't load it. i think it must have created some problem in it........!
I´ve checked in c:/windows and the explorer there keeps having problems -- tells me it´s not right for sys32 folder. I´ve put a clean explorer.exe in both the sys32 directory and windows directory...still it keeps having problems.
I´ve put a clean one under just the c drive and when I use that one, it works (but doesn´t stay once rebooted). So I have it in an easily found position and can access it and get the icons. Again, once rebooted, I has to do it again.
I´ve tried pinning explorer.exe to the start menu, but it doesn´t seem to hold, even though it says it´s pinned.
I´ve run registry cleaners and adaware, but the problem is still there. Unfortunately, I don´t have the amount of time needed right now to run a completely new install or do anything too drastic. I´ve to clean up the hard drive and put all the things I wants to keep together so I can help move them to a safe location off of that pc. In case it crashes or we need to reinstall everything, at least her files will be safe.
I have all sorts of questions to ask about this problem, but I guess the main thing I need to know is whether this is a bad omen for things to come (is this the beginning of the end for this computer?). Otherwise, will a new install of windows permanently fix the problem? She currently still has sp1 on her pc, maybe I should upgrade to sp3, but I hear too many horror stories about programs not working, I can´t do that to her now.
Any help or information would be greatful......
