WinXP explorer.exe been acting funky

[chickenNcheese]

when i go to open a folder or a search window it opens for like 0.1 of a second (like flickers open) and then the explorer.exe crashes and after about 5 seconds it starts up again with the window closed. I ran various anitvirus and various spyware but found nothing.

you must replace ur explorer.exe file...look up in the WINXp installler and reinstall it....it the best...maybe the problem its a lil
bit complicated, but this will clean all suspect....
*disable all the startup programs and try to works like usually...

*but if u prefeer ...in DOS type sfc /scan (u need the winxp installer) this help u to find problems in the registry files...

do a repair install with a Windows CD. You will not lose data.
