Hey the same thing happened to me, without the crashing part, but the windows thing, try this, go on google and type anti-virus, virus, kill, or violence and click on one random thing, if it auto closes the window then you have the same prb as me

you can do a repair on windows. Boot off the CD, then choose the reapir option, not the one where it asks to do a new install.

Yup run repair from the cd to get your folder back.

I hope that works for me too, cuz it won't open some files for me too...
