Windows Explorer Headache!

[Orson]

Hi,

Whenever I try to open a window that involves Windows Explorer, such
as My Documents, all the Desktop icons disappear for 3-5 seconds and
I'm back on the Desktop again!

In other words, I cannot open a Windows Explorer window.

Any ideas?

TIA

Increasing your RAM may solve that.

How?

I am NOT saying my pc is slow! I'm saying that on requesting a
Windows Explorer window to open, ALL the desktop icons disappear for
3-5 seconds, then I'm returned to the Desktop without a Windows
Explorer window opening (and all the icons are restored).

BTW everything works ok in Safe Mode. Can there be a clue there?
Please help.

Now you're asking questions? I thought you had all the answers!
I stated "may" solve it. In that the OP did not state how much RAM they
are using, it may be one aspect in a myriad of possibilities that could be
the cause. Monitor refresh/response rate is another possibility. If you have
another one, state so. A Google search could have many answers to
troubleshoot in this situation.

That doesn't explain how more memory will prevent a crash.

I saved you going out and wasting money. Type clean boot troubleshooting in help while online.

In other words, you don't know!! Sheesh!
