| 579668 | 2007-08-11 15:51:00 | When launching My Computer or anything that opens Explorer'Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and must close' then Doctor Watson comes up and does the same . . . I've tried AVG and used HouseCall 6 . 5 . . and this peice of advice: Try Firefox and avoid IE sorry but this problem has NOTHING to do with IE at all . . . . . . . . the post stated: When launching My Computer or anything that opens Explorer I had a problem with explorer before similarly . . . . . . . in the end after MANY attempts to fix it I did a 'repair install' and that cured it . . . . . . . seems it is possibly a corruption or similar in explorer . . . . . . . . . you could try simply replacing the explorer file |

| 579669 | 2007-08-11 20:47:00 | Regardless of that I would still replace IE with FF. I would only be using IE if some particular online gaming site demanded it because they were too crappy to code their site for FF. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
