Guest Nate Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Anyone, I have Windows 2000 Pro. Everytime after I boot up and log on, after the windows 2000 pro loading process, windows explorer keeps blinking. The whole desktop along with icons and background flickers and rolls over and over. Under tasks, the task showing explorer keeps on going away and reappearing while above happens. Does anyone know what's causing this and how it could be fixed? Another issue, whenever clicking on internet explorer or mozilla firefox to go on the internet, after clicking internet explorer or mozilla firefox browsers disappear. Does anyone know what's causing this and too, know how this problem could be fixed? Thanks, Nate
