Recycling, Moving, Renaming issues, help?

[Nick_172]

Hi, I'm wondering if anybody here can help me possibl

I'm not amazing with computers, and i'm having issues with deleting files to the recycle bin, moving files in general, and renaming files to

It was all fine up until a few days ago, I got the Blue Screen a couple of times, and when I booted my laptop back up again, that's roughly when the trouble started

If I delete an item, sending it to the recycle bin, the file itself will be sent, but the "Recycling" window will not close, it changes to "Cancelling", and will still not close, meaning I have to bring up the task manager, and end the task, which results in the windows explorer restartin
The Desktop icons, Start button and taskbar will disappear and then reappear, which in itself isn't so much of a problem, just the fact that I have to do it every time I move, delete, or rename an ite

The exact same happens when I attempt to move an item, the "Moving" window will not close and I once again have to bring up the task manage

I have just tried renaming a desktop icon too, The folder looks to have renamed, but it has stayed highlighted and I cannot click any other desktop program shortcut, again, its not an immense problem, but I'd rather it wasn't there, as I'm sure anybody else suffering from these issues doe

If ANYBODY could help, I would greatly appreciate the advic

Thanks in advance

Nick

Without knowing the exact text of the Stop Error (blue screen), we will all
be just guessing at the cause. It could be hardware, it could be software.
Had you installed anything new right before you got the Stop Errors?

Start troubleshooting by first making sure your hard drive and RAM are good:

If components are faulty, replace them.

If the hardware is good, what is the malware/virus status of the machine? If
you think it is clean, what programs (and versions) did you use to determine
this?

Be sure the computer is clean:

And finally, if the hardware is good and the machine is clean, you could try
a System Restore to when things worked.
