  1. My explorer is broken :(


    Whenever I open the explorer or a file for the first time, it laggs/freezes for like 40 seconds before it finally opens. This is extremely annoying when you want to save or open a file from a program. Everything else is running perfectly on my PC. The task manager doesn't show anything. I tried creating a new user and the problem doesn't exist on the other user. Why is that and how can I solve this? Please help me My explorer is broken :( :(

    Is my graphics card broken?

    UPDATE: Please see here.

    I have a Sapphire HD 4830.

    When I boot into XP all is initially fine and I am able to see the desktop.

    However, when I click on the start bar and navigate a few steps, I receive an immediate white screen of death and a total irrecoverable lock-up.

    I am confused about what this could mean and I would be grateful for any suggestions on the best course of action to test and repair the problem.

    Does this sort of issue suggest that the graphics card is irretrievably broken?

    Thank you for the detailed response. To change the search result's view from content to list, we suggest following the steps below:

    • Open the File Explorer and try to search for files.
    • In the toolbar, open the View tab and click List
      to change the view.
    • Once changed, close the File Explorer.
    • Open the File Explorer again and try to search to see if the setting has been retained.

    After performing the steps above, reply back to us so we can provide additional help.
