So, since yesterday evening, I've been having these really strange lock ups. I will be playing/using the computer and then Windows Explorer will lock up- as in, I cannot right click on the Desktop, I cannot open new programs, I cannot close programs. However, for a short time afterwards (1-3...

So, recently I decided to move the windows taskbar to the right side of the screen to see if I liked it better over there. It turns out I did not, so I tried to make it go back to the bottom. Every time I try to move it to the bottom, now, explorer.exe crashes and the taskbar remains on the...

Every now and then I will "lose" all of my network drives. Ending explorer.exe and reloading it always fixes the problem. Does it forget about my drives or something?! :o I have seen this once before in my life with XP, but since moving to 7, it has been a semi-regular occurrence (once a week...
