I have a huge problem with windows explorer (and ie) - it doesn't start. It was like this in win2k too, but I upgraded hoping for the problem to go away, but it didn't. when I try to click on any folder (that starts explorer) the startmenu/taskbarthingi disapears, returning some seconds later. some icons in the "notification area" is removed too.. does someone know what to do with this? or is format and new install my only option?

If you are running XP or 2K, try this and see if it works... CTL ALT DEL Click the Task Manager Click Processes Click Explorer.exe Click End Process Click File New Task Type in Explorer And see if that works If not, Format C: usually does the trick...
