    Can't open folders with click/double click


    I'm hoping that somebody has seen this issue and can help. I'm running RC 7100 and it's working great. The one problem I have occurs consistently after the machine has been running for about 24 hours. Suddenly you can no longer open files / folders or start programs by double clicking on the icon.

    It works when first booted, then stops. If you reboot it works again.

    I tried changing the options such that you can open with a single click, and it didn't fix the problem.

    Anyone else seen this? Any known solutions?

    I have not seen this, but was this an upgrade or a clean install?

    Try running task manager (right click taskbar) and watch the ram and cpu.

    Hello Alex,

    You might see if a repair install may be able to fix it without losing anything.

    Hope this helps,
