Re: explorer error

thank you for your time. much appreciated.

1.
Live one care could sound like a good idea except, I got too much data for
DVD and possibly for live one care for the first backup. I already have
backup copy of "static" data plus some manual backup of critical work. I
was planning to get a large IDE drive in June so I can use some Symantec
software to take snapshots

2.
Right from the start I knew I would not have any easy solution for this
explorer error without a price. Good thing I decided on keeping data from
the system drive. The only thing I have to do after restore is to re-install
what ever software that I have installed from that point.


BTW has anyone experienced more system problem with this combination of
hardware:
AMD ATHLON X64 3700+ at 2200mhz on ASUS A8N-VM CSM, 2 GB of RAM, Seagate
Barracuda SATA of 3x80GB drives in RAID 5 plus one SATA 2 which is not part
the RAID. the last drive was used for archiving and temporary backup of
older version of work in progress

I never had much of system problem until starting using this PC despite
using update to date antivirus, firewall and antispyware on top of keeping
the Windows XP system updated.

Hi there Gs,

Yeah, it sounds like that's your best option at this point.

You may want to consider using Windows Live OneCare as well. It provides
a
nice way of performing an incremental backup of all your user files every
two
weeks. I back my stuff of on dvd-rw's. Once you get the first one done,
performing the incrementals takes no time at all, and restoration after a
reload is a snap.

Sorry I couldn't help you further on this.

Best Regards,

~Will

my start menu is disabled after the error popup. The only way I can bring
up
anything is through task manager or through new tasks I start from task
mgr.



mmm, looks like it is time for me to restore the windows as of last ghost
image of system drive as of early april.


Any other idea or safe guard I should take before restore form Ghost
image?

Hi there GS,

If the problem persists, you might want to check in the system and
application logs (Right click on My Computer, left click on Manage)
and
check
to see if there are any related errors in there. It's usually a big
help
when you post those in these forums.

Hope the fix that David gave you works!

Best Regards,

~Will
