helllo, i have been experiencing this very wierd problem with my XP. the explorer.exe goes dead, its corrupt basically what i found after talking to 1-2 tech guys. the main prob is nothing works when it occurs. i formatted drice C and reinstalled my XP 2 days back. but then it showed up again. antivirus and spyware removal cant help it. Done all. the main points that will help you understand are: no new window opens. no programs/.exe work. right click starts actin as left and left remains left. cannot copy/paste. cant perform any other function. i have to restart it ultimately. works fine for 15-20 mins then again goes dead. Please Help Guys Thnxx please let me knw if u need to know anything else..i will post if i see smthn else too
