Guest Sandman Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Everytime i click on the Windows folders such as My Documents, My Music, My Pictures or even the control panel the screen returns to the desktop after about 5 seconds. All of my desktop icons and the taskbar and mouse pointer also disappear, so i have to restart. I have done a virus scan and found nothing, also managed a disk check (just about, before screen returned to desktop again!) Also all of my system restore points have disappeared so i can't go back to before the problem started. Can anyone help, before i have to do a system recovery and lose everything again. I have only just got my pc back to what it was after service pack 3 made me lose everything, due to the AMD processor. Thanks for looking. Sandman.

Guest Sandman Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Re: My Documents, Music, Pictures, etc, keep closing after a few s Re: My Documents, Music, Pictures, etc, keep closing after a few s Thanks Kelly, although in the end i managed to fix the problem with Microsofts latest malicious software removal tool. It appears i had a Trojan in my system folder.
