Vista - Windows explorer not responding, volume E: not responding

Hi!

I have a clean install of Vista home premium. I updated all my drivers.
But when I want to install some games or other software, it goes until the
middle of the process or so, but then everithing freezes. And I see the
message like: "Windows explorer not responding", or "Volume E: not
responding". And its not just software, when I try to read or copy some data
CDs, I got the same response. I wonder if anybody had similar problems.
Any help would be very appreciated! Thanks!

What is on Volume E. It sounds like Volume E is where your Temp directory
is and thatIt is not mounted.

voplume E is my DVD Drive. I checked the device manager and it looks
mounted. It does work some times. But not always.
Thanks!

I forget how to change the location of your system temp directory but you
need to get it off of your DVD drive. You can probably use Help to find out
how to change it's location to an available HDD Volume.
