on the computer. What do I do? I've done a hard reboot. Same message.

1. What is the exact and complete message?

Is it this?

2. I'm running Norton right now. It was something like that.

3. No guarantee that it will fix anything but I would do a chkdsk to look for errors.

Go to Computer and then right-click the C: drive and select Properties. Then under the Tools menu, Under Error Checking, hit the Check Now button. Leave just the first box ticked and hit Start button in that window. It will ask to schedule for next reboot so say Yes/OK. Next time you reboot it will take about 5 minutes to look for file system errors before booting into Windows as usual.

This may not fix anything but it eliminates the possibility that a slightly corrupted system file is causing the problem when accessed at some point while running Explorer.

4. Thanks. I will try that next.

9. "Internet Explorer has stopped working"

Then:"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available".

5. Just hit close/cancel

and run better protection.

6. When I hit the x or press cancel I get another two boxes saying the same thing.

It is ALIVE!

7. I would get rid of Norton.

First, get rid of Norton, which is incredible bloatware, and use antivirus protection which has a smaller footprint. I use Avast, and have had very good success with it.

Second, quit using Internet Explorer as your browser. Chrome or Firefox are lighter, faster and more reliable.

8. I'll keep this in mind

14. At least it's IE, not Windows Explorer, which could be a huge problem. Simplest thing to do is...

just use another browser. This could be PITA if you've got lots of passwords, bookmarks, or other things stored on there, but other browsers can often dig in there and find them.

Did you say Win 10? Bing is now a bit better than IE and has some good import functions. Other browsers may not be as good.

15. Yes i have found a way around.
