Hi Michael.

Many thanks for your reply.
You're right it looks like mumbo jumbo to me, so I have
taken up your offer and am posting it to you.
Hope it makes sense and you can give us an idea of what
we are doing wrong.
I have copied the error as you suggested and it is
detailed below.
Very many thanks and best regards

Sometimes we're able to pick up something definitive, not this time
unfortunately.

Next step, be sure all your drivers are up to date, especially for your
graphics card and soundcard, be sure to visit the device manufacturer's web
site and not rely on Windows Update for this.

If everything is up to date or that doesn't resolve it, check for known or
similar issues at those web sites. The next step would be to remove items
one by one. If you have an external Zip Drive, you might want to disconnect
it and see if that resolve it, printer or scanner, the same, any external
device. If that doesn't resolve it, you may have to remove applications one
by one until you find the offending application. In either case, go one by
one, then after each removal, run the system and test to see if you still
have the problem.

Also, to play safe, do a virus scan on your system.

Brad,

I am having a similar problem, as are many friends and co-
workers, but only those of us running Windows XP -
everyone I know running Windows 2000 does not have this
problem. Our problem specifically happens more at random
than yours. We will be working along, and suddenly the
entire desktop does a refresh, and all icons dissapear and
reappear. This is especially frustrating because it will
stop all front processes like file copies and close all
windows or views. Any suggestions from anyone out there?
Don't even ask about viruses, we've scanned with half-
dozen programs including trojan/worm scanners.

Dave

I keep getting the message up when I close down
programs 'windows explorer has encountered a problem and
now needs to close anything you were working on may be
lost' any suggestions? Thank you.

x-no-archive: yes

This is very often caused by third-party software, particularly shell
extensions.
