Windows 7 - Can't open folders with click/double click

Windows 7 RC Build 7100
 
 

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,
