windows explorer has encountered a problem and it needs to close. I tied Safe Mode, the same thing.under more info (in the message)

No, they're not. Windows Explorer enables you to navigate and search through various folders and files in Windows. You already know what Internet Explorer does.

As this is a different problem than the original I'm moving it to the appropriate forum so you might get a better shot at getting it fixed.
