Hey guys, I'm having another problem with my computer. Whenever I try to delete a file, or move it from one folder to another folder I keep getting a message saying that 'Windows Explorer has called an error and needs to close'

After this the whole desktop disappears, the start menu and that entire bottom bar disappears and then comes back up a few minutes later.

It's getting really aggravating, and its not only when I do things on the c drive. I can't even use my flash drives. When I try to delete something from my flash drive it crashes as well. Let me know what info that you need and I will post it up here for you to try to help me.

Please try this workaround (you will need your Windows® XP SP2 CD or an integrated SP3 CD if SP3 is installed).

(In the event that you do not have a Windows® XP CD with SP2,(or SP3) you will need to 'borrow' one from a friend or colleague, as the manufacturer's "Recovery Discs" will not work in this instance.)

Insert the Windows® XP CD in your drive. (Hold down the Shift Key to prevent it from starting.)

Go start > Run ...in the box type in sfc /scannow …please take note of the space between the sfc and the /.

This is the System File Checker...it will scan all the Windows® core system files to ensure that they are in their respective correct places, and if not replace them from the CD.

During the scan you may be asked to Insert the CD, if this happens just go retry and let it do its thing.

One important point: While sfc is running, it is not advisable to do any other work, or have any browsers/programs running on the computer, until the scan is complete. (This process will generally take around 45-65 minutes to complete).
