Windows Explorer problem

Eric

My computer locks up quite frequently. I can do CTL + ALT
+ Del and I get Explorer (not responding). I can end the
task to unfreeze but what causes this to happen?

Eric,

That can be a bummer. Have you done some routine maintenance on the system
lately? Defrag, Scandisk (error check before defrag), Disk Cleanup, etc.
Make sure you on;t have something wierd like two antivirus programs running
at the same time.

Look in the event logs for clues.

Clean booting your machine will help identify TSR conflicts and other
bugaboos:
