    Explorer.exe not responding when exiting a game running at diff. res.


    Hello,

    I'm having a quite old laptop from 2010 (Aspire 5745g/640m/420m/4gb/768p) with Win 7 Pro x64 in it. Every time I quit a game that is not running at native resolution (NFS:MW 2005 @ 640x480 instead of 1366x768 for example) the taskbar moves to the middle of the screen and completely stops responding for 5-6 minutes unless I purposely kill explorer.exe and restart it back. Whole screen turns white when this happens, and cursor turns into "waiting" however other programs work perfectly fine except if I move those windows around, it leaves copy itself in the original position (due to explorer not responding I believe? and is fixed when it finally responds)

    Furthermore, this system is running the latest build of windows and graphics drivers (both intel/nvidia) provided by manufacturer and I assume the explorer.exe is unmodified. I already tried running sfc /scannow though it hasn't fixed the issue. What could be the problem as this doesn't happen when game runs at native resolution. Due to this being heavily outdated, even 13 years old game still lags and runs at unplayable fps therefore running at lower resolution is the only option left.

    Please help. Thank you.
    Regards,
    Os.
