Hello:

Lately it seems when I try to look/open graphic files on my computer windows explorer will close down stating it has encountered an error.
This will also happen when I am in another program such as photoshop 7 and I want to open up a graphic file through the program, it will sometimes cause the program to close.

I think this started happening after I updated my windows to the service package 3.

Unfortunately I can't remember the date I put the service package on. Is there anything else that will correct the problem?

Will a system restore delate any current files I have saved after that date, because I don't remember creating a restore point?

Also I just got a new error message about DrWatson Postmortem Debugger showing when I tried to look at graphic files. This time it popped up after I got the windows explorer message about it closing.

When you use System Restore, you can revert to a saved state without losing personal data including Word documents, e-mail settings and messages, and your Internet favorites list. System Restore won't lose any data you have stored in the My Documents, My Pictures, or My Music folders either.
