explorer.exe laggy error
« on: March 30, 2004, 10:23:13 AM »
hi, just a few days ago, i've discovered that my computer runned slow whenever I click on a folder or my computer icon.  i think that maybe my explorer.exe file is corrupted although i'm not so sure about it.  again, whenever I click on a folder or an application that require the explorer.exe file, (for example: internet explorer, my document, my computer), it takes a very long time for the window to pop up.  what really confuses me though was that even though it was laggy when i click on (the examples above), the computer didn't freeze, other programs like microsoft word, netscape, winamp, etc work fine.  any help would be highly appreciated.

    Just a thought.....have you tried a thorough scandisk (scan disk surface as well) and defrag?

    It may take ages, probably over night but it should get quicker when you do them frequently.

    I hope this helps
