System Crash

[Perry Mason]

When I go into Windows Explorer and go into the Folder Options and select
the File Types tab, my system just restarts for no reason. No blue screen
or error message. Have you heard of this problem before?

Happy Holidays!

Hi Perry

Have a look in the Event Viewer. There may be an entry that points to the
problem.
