One of our employes has its own = HP XE3 notebook with Win XP HE SP1 and IE6 SP1. Now, few days ago this = notebook started to do this: whenever I try to open a folder, my comp., control panel, IE or anything that requires explorer all I can see is a desktop refresh and an this logged in Event Log / Application: "Source Winlogon" "Event_ID 1002" "The shell stopped unexpectedly and Exploere.exe was restarted" I've searched the web blah blah, nothing found. Only this particular thing, = it doesn't behave as I said in Safe Mode, stopped services one by one until = it became unusable, removed late installed software, reinstalled IE6 SP1 = and then XP SP1. No help. What should I do next, except a fresh install? Regards, Chris --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
