Start>Computer>Windows Explorer Unresponsive with Green Loading Bar
When I go to the start button and then click on "Computer" in Windows 7 and Windows Explorer opens the drives won't appear and that green loading bar just slowly moves across the address bar. The green loading bar eventually fills the address bar and just sits there and pulses but Windows Explorer is unresponsive. If I restart my machine that usually fixes the problem, but not always as sometimes I need to restart twice or more.
Folders under "Computer" (in the column on the left) will open such as "Program Files" etc. but Local Disk (C) and the DVD RW Drive (E) for example (in other words Windows Explorer) won't load up and display the icons for the drives.
My machine is Win7 Pro 64 bit, Intel Core i7 with 8GB of RAM and lots of hard drive space left.
How do I fix this?
