Windows Errors

Every time I close a wiondows explorer box, the error "windows explorer has
stopped working". It then closes the box and restarts the explorer. Any
ideas what the problem is and how do I solve it.

This could be caused by a lot of things - bad drivers, problem software,
even bad hardware (although I'd be looking at software first). Start
trying to narrow down the troubleshooting by looking in Vista's own
diagnostic tools:

Control Panel
System and Maintenance
Performance information and tools
Advanced tools in left pane

Start > All Programs > Maintenance > Problem Reports and Solutions >
View Problem History

Also look in Event Viewer:

Start Orb>Search box>type: eventvwr.msc (you'll see it appear above).

Also ask yourself The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed
between the time things worked and the time they didn't?

If you need help with what you find, then please come back with the
results of your troubleshooting.
