If someone can answer this one, i will be most surprised.
Spec: Windows 2000 Pro SP2, IE 5.5 SP2.
Righty, everytime I try to open my documents, network places, my computers, etc; anything that needs explorer the desktop hangs. It hangs for about 5-10 seconds, all the icons disappear ( and the taskbar, etc), and im left with a blank screen. I can't open anything that requires explorer to run unless I go another way around it (i.e. use search for files or folders; this is the only way I can open my documents, network places, and so on).
It's not just happening on my machine either, other people are experiencing the same problem and furthermore it is getting progressively worse. Could it be a corrupted system file? Or some 3rd party software (Icq, cute ftp, ...) that could be conflicting with Explorer?
Any suggestions welcome.
