Hullo guys,

i hope that this topic is in the right board. I've got a problem with my pc. I can't seem to open any explorer window. I can open mozilla, and my games work, (flash games, Neverwinter Nights). But when i open, say for example, My Documents, the window just closes itself. Very odd, I've never gotten this before. Can anyone offer suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks :)

Ya, go for it..
Give them something they have to PAY for, that can change windows security in LOTS of ways, and then MESS it up... Watch all the Windows Users(those who dont want to learn windows) mess up there computers and we have something ELSE to worry about.
