help! cant open more than 6 or 7 explorer..

[Giu]

since i install windows xp,i have a problem that is really annoying me.
After opening explorer 6 or 7 times , i cant open a new one anymore!
Its like some kind of resource is running out and im not allowed to open a
new explorer. Only if i close one of the previous sessions then i can open a
new one!
I have 1 gb ram on my pc!
Anyone have idea where i have to check to solve this problem?
Thanks everyone.

Hi,
It's likely that another program, toolbar, BHO or other browser add-on is
causing this problem.

[XP SP2] From IE> Tools> Manage add-ons. Disable add-ons to see if one of
them is the culprit.

If not using XP SP2, go to Internet Options> Advanced> uncheck "Enable
third-party browser extensions." Restart. That will tell you if a browser
extension is causing the problem. You will still have to find the
troublesome program, add-on, etc.

ToolbarCop from http://windowsxp.mvps.org/toolbarcop.htm may find an add-on,
BHO or context menu item you've overlooked.

Disable (for diagnostic purposes) programs such as pop-up blockers,
security, toolbars and other add-ons for IE, anti-virus, etc. Take a look at
any program that might be interfering with IE. You may have to reconfigure,
reinstall, or not reinstall, a program.

* Important * Turn on the Windows Firewall (from Control Panel or Security
Center) before disabling a third-party firewall or security suite.

Additional advice...
Clear the Temporary Internet Files and set the size of that folder to 100 mb
or smaller.
Set "Days to keep history" to no more than 25-30 days.

Hope this helps,
