Vista - error message in Vista

04-19-2008

Since recently "restoring to an earlier date" my Toshiba laptop, almost every
time I try to open or close a program I get the message "Windows Explorer is
not responding. Do you wish to (1) Restart the program. (2) Stop the
progran. (3) Wait for the program to respond. This even happens when I
click on the Start button. It is so frustrating and time consuming. I have
defragged and compacted files, got rid of temp files and run a check for
spyware. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can correct it?

Hello Bstrader,
" Since recently 'restoring to an earlier date' ". Would you explain what problem(s) you had that caused you to do a system restore ? It might be related.
Are you doing windows update manually or automatically ? Either case, go have a look at the windows update, in case there are some waiting to be installed, especially if there is one for Windows Explorer.

Some routine repair things to try:
reboot
c: drive properties (disk cleanup and tools/error-checking)
command prompt: sfc /scannow
Karen's Registry Pruner
windows update (if you went back too far)
