HELP!! I have a very weid problem. When I open My
Computer from within Windows Explorer all the icons keep
getting refreshed and continually switch- approx every
second, between the expected icon and a folder icon. I
have found by clicking on the Image Folder the refresh
stops but my PC runs slow and some applications don't
open. Reboot clears the slow running with everthing being
ok until i use Windows Explorer again and open My
Computer. Have run Norton Utils - no improvement. Any
help would be appreciated (simple instructions please :))
