MY VISTA SKEWED
« on: July 12, 2009, 09:53:58 PM »
this is a really odd problem i got know clue whats is wrong. when ever i click a shortcut on the desktop right click or left click the pc comes up with an error saying windows explorer has stopped working windows vista is restarting. it sometimes happens with other shorcuts like in the start menu. i have run AVG free Spybot S&D Windows DEFENDER (i know piece of ****) and lavasoft ad-ware none of they come up with a virus.

I'd suggest a format, go to a proper OS (aka. 64bit). Either Vista or Windows 7, both work well.
