Explorer never runs
Basically, whenever I boot up W7, explorer says it must be closed down. So when I rerun it through Task Manager, it gives me the same crappy error + it want's the software that opened it to close. I thought it was the data execution thing that was causing this, so i managed to reach that and added explorer.exe to the list, which yielded no result. Whats going on here? Im running (if i can remember) version 7100 of the RC on my 32-bit system. I can't install any other OS via disk because my CD-DVD drives are in disarray. I even tried to install the W7 iso via Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120% but during setup I get an error each and everytime. Anyone?

Welcome to the forums.
![]() Sound like you are having drivers problems, or you got a bad RC. If you can get online go to the Microsoft Download center and download a clean copy of the RC (free until 20 August, and you will get a key code with the download), then burn it at a slower rate then you did your first disk (around 2 to 6 times vice a faster speed). |

Thing is, I can't use my DVD drive so the burnt disk can't be utilized. Originally, I had used Daemon Tools to create a virtual drive and mounted the ISO. From there the setup copied neccesary files onto the hard drive so I wouldn't need the disk. Now, I get errors when I try this. I tried this Vista (backed up disk on diff. computer and sent via network) but the same thing would happen. Should I backup my XP disk and try again?

Nah. This sucks. What if I were to replace my explorer.exe with another copy; would that do anything? Also, is there any type of repair I could do without the disk?

WDC Green: 750 GB runs Hot, 4 TB runs Cool ??? I have two external hard drives, both in Vantec NexStar3 USB enclosures. The older 750 GB WDC Green drive runs HOT to the touch, the 4 TB, and the 2 TB before that, run pretty warm but never hot. Why might this be, and would that much heat cause earlier than necessary drive failure? |

explorer.exe runs at 100% Ok, it actually runs at 50%, but I have a dual core, so it is 100% of one core.

What I have found is the ntdll.dll is using all the CPU and here is the call stack: ... |
