I have recently installed a new hard drive. I have Windows Vista Home Premium UPGRADE.
The install went fairly well, as I did have Vista on the previous drive that died, with one exception. If I try to open desktop from the desk icon, I get an error message that says something to the effect that "rundll32 has stopped...windows explorer will now close" and then the screen loses all icons for a moment and then comes back and anything I was working on is gone. Very frustrating. I am beetr than novice level but not an expert by any stretch...I have tried a few rememdies I have "googled" but to no avail.
Second problem is Vista wont shut down....it just sits on the blue curtain with the message "Windows is shutting down" and nothing happens. Little blue twirlly thing stops spinning at this point.
I dont know if these errors are related but any help would be appreciated
Thanks Tommy

This probably isn't the best place to get answers for your problem, aftommy, maybe try the windows forums -- http://www.daniweb.com/forums/forum99.html You'll probably find the best help in the correct forum.
