    File Explorer stops working when I try to open a file installer


    Fair warning here i am in no way proficient in windows so my apologies for vague/not well explained stuff.

    So i tried to download a aim trainer to get better at overwatch so i hit the download button and all that worked and it showed up in my downloads folder, but when i try to open it it freezes my file explorer and i have to restart it via task manager to get it to work again. I tried to run it as an administrator but that didn’t work. I also tried moving to to my desktop and opening it there but it froze my desktop and I had to restart file explorer again for it to work. This same problem occurred when u tried to download inventor but i somehow got that to work but the aim trainer won’t work.

    Any help would be immensely appreciated.

    opening .dds files with gimp

    Simply, HOW? I got the DDS plugin but the POS wont open DDS files still. Can someone give me a step-by-step rundown of how to install the DDS plugin for gimp so I know if I'm missing something?

    PowerPoint file crashes PowerPoint upon opening

    since this happens in some of the computers only, suggest that you open the file on working computer and copy everything and paste to a new powerpoint file.
    most of the time it works to me. *Smile File Explorer stops working when I try to open a file installer :)
