My computer and My Documents not opening. Hi,
Something really strange happened one day when I ran one of my games.
Well, The game crashed several time and when I went to open it in again, my documents wouldn't open! I went to "my computer" clicked it and still nothing happened.
Whenever I click "my documents" the document screen just goes off to the side of my screen and nothing happens, same problem when I try to open "my computer"
PS: I have run scans with Norton and Malware Bytes but it cannot find any virus, my computer seems clean at the moment.
Thanks,
Gtwow. | My System Specs |

Your Explorer .exe is apparently having a problem. Try to run sfc /scannow in elevated Command Prompt. Maybe it can fix it. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to i7 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse Trackball mice Hard Drives 5x HDD, 7x SSD, 12x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |

Did your desktop screen resolution change at all?
Did you, erm, reboot to see if that would fix the issue? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom-built OS Windows 7 Professional SP1 32-bit CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz, overclocked to 2.7GHz Motherboard Asus PL5D2 Memory 4GB DDR2-667 (4x1GB in dual-channel config) Graphics Card nVidia GeForce 9800 GT Sound Card Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic Monitor(s) Displays Acer Screen Resolution 1920x1200 (DVI) Keyboard Standard Mouse Microsoft wireless optical mouse PSU Antec TruePower 2.0 Case Cooler Master Centurion Cooling various fans Hard Drives OCZ SSD Vertex Plus 60GB SATA (Firmware 3.55), 64MB cache

To make matters worse, we don't have a windows 7 dvd/disc because when we bought our computer it didn't come with one. | My System Specs | | |

Hmm. OK. Unless you've already proceeded with the repair install, you could try running /sfc scannow from a command prompt after booting your Windows setup DVD. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom-built OS Windows 7 Professional SP1 32-bit CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz, overclocked to 2.7GHz Motherboard Asus PL5D2 Memory 4GB DDR2-667 (4x1GB in dual-channel config) Graphics Card nVidia GeForce 9800 GT Sound Card Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic Monitor(s) Displays Acer Screen Resolution 1920x1200 (DVI) Keyboard Standard Mouse Microsoft wireless optical mouse PSU Antec TruePower 2.0 Case Cooler Master Centurion Cooling various fans Hard Drives OCZ SSD Vertex Plus 60GB SATA (Firmware 3.55), 64MB cache
