Re: Windows explorer error??

I seem to be having the same problem; with a twist. I just putmy dell together fresh out of the box, and i was starting to install other programs that i have used on my previous computer. I went to install Norton Systemworks, did all the liveupdates that were needed, then when i finally did the last restart, i get the "windows explorer encountered an error" message. With me however, every time i try to start the computer it happens, and I cant do anything. My computer freezes. Sometimes the desktop will show up, sometimes it wont. If i restart in safe mode, no problems, but safemode doesnt allow you to remove programs and such that may have caused the problem. at this point, i have just taken my computer back to its factory settings (if youre using a dell, its tapping CTRL+F11 together at the "Dell" screen).

Anyway, i was told by dell that its possible that one of the liveupdates didnt download and install properly, and may have caused the problem. i cant see how it could be a compatibilty issue.

I'm going to try to load it again, and see if it happens again. wish me luck

To second what Alias said, stay away from the Norton products. There are many good - and many of those free - alternatives.
