Every time I place a file into a folder these days, the next time I try to open the folder again, I get an error message. "Windows Explorer has encountered an error and needs to close." This error message is occasionally followed by something about Dr Watson postmortem debugger. I have tried system restore and nothing seems to be working. Please help!

Thank you for any attempts to help =)

I apologize for the very long delay. We have a huge backlog of HijackThis Logs to handle and it has been taking us greater time than normal to get caught up. If you are still having a problem, and want us to analyze your information, please post a brand new hijackthis log. If we do not hear back from you within a couple of days we will need to close your topic.

When posting your logs please post them directly into the reply. Do not attach them.

Also make sure you have already followed the steps outlined below:
