Windows Explorer hangs about 60% of the time upon choosing a file to open,
such as a photo or a video.

Many spyware/virus scans run, registry fixes, most .zip files deleted... and
sometimes Explorer will work justfine x number of times, then hangs the
computer.

When it does hang, I can see it using up CPU cycles but I can't terminate it
or any other apps running from Task Manager.

This is costing me many restarts via the power switch on the computer and it
is DRIVING ME BATTY!

TIA
 
Now that is a very interesting thing to run that I never heard of.

I ran it this morning and it asked for my SP2 disk.
d'oh!

So I spent about an hour inside MS.com looking for just... SP2.

Ended up googling a link to the download, burning a disk now and we'll see.
thanks.
