hey ive just inherited a laptop from my dad, who in turn lent it to a 'freind' who has buggered it up. Basically everything loads fine onto the desktop then an error box comes up saying:

windows explorer cannot load.

next another box appears saying

windows is searching for solutions.

it sends a report to microsoft and then starts the whole loop again, over and over every 30 bloody seconds.

Things ive tried are the microsoft one2one full system scan which uncovers a trojandownloader (win32:renos) which it deletes, but it reappears every time.
Any advice?

also a file called dxovx.dll seems to be causing probs

any help appreciated cheers Gareth

this might help you.
You cannot open a Web page by using Windows Internet Explorer 7 if the URL of the Web page contains non-ASCII characters

Windows cant load that's really odd.you can try to reinstall your os.

are you using windows vista? did you check on your memory? it might be full. you just need to delete some of your inactive file

how old is your laptop? if the internet explrer is not loading thats odd, you can try other browser like mozilla, opera, google chrome.. better check your laptop it could be worn out and you need to buy a new one
