Hi Guys,

My laptop has recently started to play-up. Mainly because explorer.exe, runs during start-up, then keeps closing itself. The laptop however does not crash, I’m just limited to using task manager to run all my programs. When I reopen explorer.exe from the task manager, it stays open for about 15seconds, then closes itself again.

Please can someone help me solve this problem .....

Cheers

Try running an anti-virus scan - you might have to run an online antivirus scan if you can't start your AV software.

Also, check that you don't have a large file on the desktop, or a large number of files on the desktop. This can cause problems in earlier versions of Windows.
