[tranquillity]

I have a problem with my computer.

CAUSE:

When i am browsing "My computer" I have about 10-20 clicks (open/close any folder) before the "My computer"-program (the folder viewer) gets locked up.


EFFECT:

There is nothing i can do to get it going again. Only way to get out of the "My computer"-lockup is to close it down using the taskmanager.

In the Taskmanager in the "Explorer.exe" process is using 99% of the CPU power continuisly. But it is only the "My computer"program that is affected by it. The rest of the programs that i might have on is running as usuall.


OTHER NOTABLE THINGS:

When i close the "My computer"-program in the taskmanager, the Explorer.exe process cease to exist for a while. The start-Menue also dissapears. This only for about 5 seconds. Then i can open a new "my computer"-window....and i get another 10-20 clicks =(.

My computer is an Inspiron Dell Laptop.

THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TRIED:

1. I have reinstalled Windows XP severall times.

2. Virus checked it a million times.

3. Changed HD so there is nothing wrong with it.

4. All new drivers and so on......(no new Video driver since there are none to the laptop version).

Windows XP Swedish Service patch 1 Home edition V. 2002
Inspiron 5150 Dell laptop
Mobile 3.06 Ghz P4 Chipset.
