Hi,
After I select show hidden files and folders in Folder options an error
appears stating Window Explorer encountered a problem...... Must shut down
But when I un-select show hidden files and folders the error does not appear.
I am also having a problem with Windows Media Palyer 6.0 shutting down after
video is played even though it's set to repeat play.

What is the malware/virus status of the machine? If you think it is clean,
what programs (and versions) did you use to determine this?

Be sure the computer is clean:

Hello,
I am using Ad A Ware and SpyBot along with AVG Antivirus.
Nothing unusual is coming up in the scans, I also tried HiJack This-
but do not see anything really out of the ordinary.

Please go through the removal steps I already gave you which are more
thorough than what you've done. Do not skip the preparatory work. If you
want someone to take a look at your HJT log, register at one of the
following specialty forums. Please do not post logs in the MS newsgroups.

It found no Virus and only 4 suspect cookies.
Problem still exist so I send my Hijack This log to Aumha forum
