Hi Jerry,

Its not a good idea to Private Message our admins asking for assistance when you have this topic here, People will help you if they can and doing That will only get you banned

When you open these folders what are the contents explorer its trying to load?

Do you have any anti-virus installed?

jerryhii · 06-02-2008

Yeah i did install an anti-virus. It's not so good but alright only.

Jerry, you'll need to be more specific with your answers - For example, Norton Products are notorious for causing certain kinds of problems, whereas another product can be notorious for causing other kinds of problems, and so on - the more info you give the easier it becomes to troubleshoot your machine.

Remember - we;'re not there sitting at the machine, so we need every piece of detail because, as you said, you're new to this, so you won't have any idea what *is* and what is *not* important.

John is Right...

I want to know what anti-virus you have installed because it could be causing the problem and because Im not physically at the machine I cant tell whats going on...SO we will be asking many questions from you about your machine and settings and trial some options to help you try fix the problem.
