Ok I got a very tricky issue.
I am unable to open any folders, control panel or Internet Explorer. Everytime I click on the Icons or programs, the Icon flickers and nothing happens. I could click on it for hours and it just flickers and nothing. I booted up in Safe Mode and when I log in as the admin (only thru Safe Mode) I could then open up any folderI want . I went into the Control Panel and deleted every program or misc item that was not needed. I am still unable to select my icons or control panel when booted in regular mode... This just started happening about 1 week ago. Please help, this is some issue and I cannot resolve it.
 
Hi Carlos,

Click to expand...

Try this. Boot in safe mode, then go to Control Panel > Internet
Options > Advanced options tab and check 'Disable third-party browser
extensions'
Click apply.

Good luck

Several people, including my brother, are having the same problem. Unfortunately on here, it is difficult to identify related topics. Check posts on April 9 "Programs Stop reponding" (sic

Esteban's last post suggested that the free download by Panda may have found the problem on his computer.

I have downloaded it and several other programs to try on my brother's computer. My brother also has a problem with the rundll32.exe when trying to shut-down. Don't know yet if the 2 are related

Feel free to email me to follow up. My email is (e-mail address removed)
