i have had a problem with windows explorer, as it keeps on closing and then re-opening, causing me to be unable to access start menu, or any file located with a folder out of the desktop. i really dont know what to do, have scanned with virus scan and am currently spy-ware/ad-ware scanning. Please help, thanks rob. :mad:

Try using a different mouse/keyboard. I know it's a stretch, but I've had some bad keyboards in the past that just loved to mess with me.
