explorer.exe dead (cannot kill it)
Hello,
I'm having this problem since several days. I have windows 7 64bits. Below describes what happens every time I have the problem:
1.Explorer can no longer display any icon inside a folder. if I open a folder, only file/sub folder names are displayed; if I open "computer", it displays nothing inside and is always searching without terminating.
2.So I try to kill the process in task manager. The desktop disappears as normal, but explorer.exe persists in the list. Meanwhile other applications function well.
3.If I try to open another explorer, it does. But at this time i cant open any folder (looks like the previous explorer is blocking all). More I try to open folders, more explorer.exe appear in task manager. I can kill them all except the dead one.
4.At last I cannot shutdown or restart. The system is stuck at the "logging off" screen and never ends. I have to shut it down manually. (It hurts..)
(end )
Successfully restarting the OS, everything returns to normal, until the problem comes again..
Please, how can I solve the pb? (I'm having it, i don't want to hurt the hard disk..)
