Hi,
I have the same problem. I have a Vaio with Vista Business. Every time I try
to move a file or folder of any size in Windows Explorer it stops working,
looks for a solution, directs me to the MS website, where the instructions
suggest going into Programs and Features and repairing Internet Explorer.
However, Internet Explorer does not appear in Programs and Features. I don't
know where it is.
The other solution MS suggests is to make a change to the registry, but I'm
a bit frightened of trying that.
A few times the suggested solution was an update, which I duly tried to
download only to see a message telling me I already had it.
This has been going on for weeks, although most MS programs, especially
Office and Explorer, have been kooky since I bought this laptop six months
ago. Lots of crashes. Surprisingly unreliable and time-consuming. Very
frustrating.
Would be extremely grateful for any help.
Tx, Julie
