When I click on my computer it basically hangs and shows the<br>annoying little torch. Is there any way of repairing the NT Explorer. This is an old pc and I dont have a current repair disk. Any tips would be appriciated.

As a long shot you could copy the Explorer.exe file from another PC which works ok and copy the file from disk via dos to C:/WINNT directory.<br><br>However, I fear you will probably need to do a fresh install of NT4. If this is an older PC - can you also format the hard drive to erase any &quot;rubbish&quot; that has accumulated??
