Cannot delete in Win Explorer

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

For the past 2 days I have been unable to delete files from my computer. When I try to delete a file, I get a message that Windows Explorer has stopped working, followed by the message that Windows Explorer is restarting. Also, using System Information I cannot get information about my system; I get the message: "Can't Collect Information."
My HP Pavilion computer had been running flawlessly until 2 days ago. I tried using System Restore, but System Restore fails to restore back any day I choose. My system was running Vista Home Premium with SP1. Can anybody help with suggestions on correcting my Vista OS?
