Hi,
I got this weird problem on my IBM ThinkPad laptop. Whenever I click on any folder or "my computer" on the desktop, the window flash, a blank blue screen appears for about 1 second, then go back to the normal screen. But the folder is not opened. I tried to either double click on a folder or right click then open a folder, both way failed. I also tried to do it from "run" then type in "c:", the same flash happens.
However, if I click on a actual file, not folder, then the file opens fine. And I go to start -> programs and open any program they are fine. Folders are the only thing that is having a problem.
Does anyone had this problem before or knows how to fix this problem? Thank you very much in advance.
