Hello Experts!

I'm experiencing an error when opening Windows Explorer. The start button and taskbar will be gone. Then I can not access anything. Right click from the desktop will be disable also. My only way to get it back to work it normal is to restart or shut it down and boot it up again and to do that, I have to Ctrl+Alt Del. I don't want to reformat it again. I'm using Windows vista Ultimate SP1.

Thanks for the help!

When did you started experiencing the error? If you can figure out what you were doing or did when the problem began, then you'll have a better idea of what's causing the issue. Had you tried System Restore?

It sounds like an explorer.exe error.

Do you have an anti virus installed because it sounds like explorer.exe has become infected.
