Thread: What's This

This happened for the first time not too long ago. (A month?) It happened very suddenly, I restarted PC and problem was gone. It happened twice again, and both times I restarted. I thought I might as well ask you guys if it's anything serious. :x

Picture is pretty self explanatory. That's the only part that was fucking up. Eventually my PC didn't let me do anything, e.g. if I clicked start, I would click some program but it wouldn't open.



Hmm, this doesn't give too much detail. :p

this happened to me a while back. try deleting some spyware and old files. its most likely nothing serious. its probably a glitch or a small notepad virus.

John Connor'd better be safe, they're taking over the Internet.

As ultima kid said, probably spyware.

Next time it happens, instead of restarting your computer, try just restarting explorer.exe.

Hit Ctrl+Shift+Esc, find explorer.exe in the Processes tab, click End Process, then in the Applications tab click New Task and type explorer.exe.

What MoS said... it's amazing how much explorer can fuck up your computer, and how easily you can overcome those annoying problems by just restarting it.

BTW if you're not familiar with what MoS is talking about, I think you're on vista so when you ctrl+alt+delete you'll wanna select Task Manager. You probably know that, though.

Thank ye, Mos and Shift.
