My sister came to me with a problem she's having with her laptop.
She's running Windows Vista and once you login explorer.exe stops responding and restarts. This continues and is not operable.
NOTE: This is not just a Vista related problem.
However the guest account works fine. I also made a new user Hello
and it too works fine.
What I've tried...
- Drivers are all upto date, I used task manager to close all apps that may conflict with Windows explorer.
- I have several spare and new ram chips lying around. Thus I upgraded her RAM from 2GB to 4GB with new chips.
- I have a friend who lend me his "Windows Anytime Upgrade" CD. I backed up her data (Thanks to Linux) and ran System Restore.
Unfortunately the problem still persists.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this problem?
