Explorer and boot process freezes

July 25, 2008

These both happen on one laptop sometimes:

1. Windows Explorer freezes when changing navigation from one folder to

another. Sometimes it will recover itself after a minute or so. Or we can

click close to stop non-responding program. The desktop shell then restarts

by itself. Other applcations can be run normally while Explorer itself is

frozen. And the frozen window can be minimised.

2. The boot hangs after the Start Up display appears. Including the /SOS

switch in the boot.ini showed that it froze after all drivers are loaded and

when a primary GUI appears to show the Windows version and CPU information.

Hard-shut-down>start in Safe Mode>shut-down,>start normally and all is well

again.

Swapped memory and did CHKDSK /R and defragged and did SFC/scannow, and also

used CCleaner to check for system errors - still happens. But as said at the

beginning - sometimes only.

We have a feeling these are somehow related. Have not be able to relate

these to anything specific done on the unit. Also, they don't always happen

at the same time. A puzzler for us ageing folks here.

TIA for any insights.

obsessed with me for years ever since I spurned his advances towards me.

Do NOT download anything from that site! He is NOT an MS-MVP and he hosts

utilities he stole from others!

Do you really want to trust someone that was banned from posting

directly to Microsoft Usenet servers, someone that has posted links to

pornographic materials on HIS WEBSITE, who's website is in the MVP HOST

Block list, and who provides a tool for your use that will block access

to reputable anti-malware sites without telling you he's doing it?

And do you really want to trust someone that has had to change their

posting identity after being busted by MS as a fake MVP?

Don't do it. You'll cause problems.
