Frozen Explorer Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

For the last... very long time... I have had this problem:

When I close a window (Just a random window, nothing special), explorer freezes, and it looks like this:



I've never seen this happen, when I close the last window in the line, it's always happening with a window in the middle.

I can't use explorer for anything, but I can use other apps though...

Has anyone else experienced this problem before, and knows how to fix it?



...and don't come with the "Just use something else" post...

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

After about 20 seconds it unfreezes again, like nothing happened...

I'm using WinXP btw...


When looking at the task manager, it doesn't seem like it takes any CPU power or anything...

When I saw a thread with the title "Frozen Explorer", and "Provost Harrison" in the last post by column, I just knew there would be something along the lines of "Captain Oates" or "George Mallory" as the last response.

Block heaters would help your problem, just plug in your Explorer when it gets cold out.

We don't have that problem here in California. I hear engine block warmers are expensive to buy.

I'm not sure if that was a joke or not, because it is certainly true.

Block heaters are essentially mandatory.

I have no problems with Explorer.

What is a block heater?

Increase Your PM Length

You plug the block heater into an electrical outlet where you park, and it keeps the engine warm so you can actually start it when you get back to the car. It works by heating the engine block, and thus is called a block heater.

By Explorer, I meant Ford Explorer.
