Windows 7 Please help me before I go insane.

[TheSnake]

I'm running Window 7, build 7600 I believe.

Here are my problems:

1.) Recently I've been having this problem where explorer doesn't refresh--sometimes. For example, when I delete or move an item, it doesn't change on the screen until I manually refresh with F5. Sometimes this happens, sometimes it doesnt.

2.) Sometimes it hangs when I shut down or log off. Sometimes it doesn't.

3.) There's a certain program I use. Sometimes it crashes, sometimes it doesn't.

4.) This shortcut to an application I have installed keeps returning, no matter how many times I delete it. It's not a virus; I've used it many times in the past (in fact it's software that came with my laptop).

I am at my wit's end...I love Windows 7 but I'm starting to regret installing it. Please, help me.

Not the best answer but your computer hardware may not be compatible with W7, mind you, your post was in 2009 so you've probably sorted it now?

Maybe he went insane by now?
