Hey, I have a problem on my sisters laptop. The thing is whenever I access files on C drive like just browse them, a popup saying "Windows Explorer has stopped working" comes up and it restarts. And that happens everytime I do that.. I have tried searching similar problems on google and even tried sfc scannnow command on cmd. I don't know what to do anymore The problem has been for about a month now.. and system restres didn't solve it too.

It's a ASUS X53U. Win7 64-bit.

Thanks =)

Tutorial for running chkdsk in Vista\Win 7 located HERE.

[happyrock]

if chkdsk doesn't fix your problem and since you have already run sfc /scannow
try running sfc /scannow a few more times...sometimes running sfc several times will correct the problem...
nojoy
if your still having issues then do a Win7′s no-reformat, nondestructive reinstall...
good guide here...

sfc/ scannow didn't work and I don't have the original cd either cause os was installed already when it was bought... and my friends don't have it too..

[rshaffer61]

have you run the chkdsk yet and if so was anything found?

[rei158]

Ran it, it didn't seem to find anything.

[happyrock]

what do you mean by sfc/ scannow didn't work
did you get a error


we need to see the CHKDSK Log
Go to Start and type in eventvwr.msc...press Enter
Expand the Windows logs heading, then select the Application log file entry.
Double click on the Source column header.
Scroll down the list until you find the Chkdsk entry
(wininit for Win7)
(winlogon for XP).

Copy/paste the results into your next post.

It looks like chkdsk will need to be reran also there Happyrock once SFC is done.

By editing I mean I added a part to the end mentioning about the sfc scannow which said that it found errors which it couldn't fix. I didn't edit chkdsk report ...

[happyrock]

run sfc /scanow two more times and report on what it says the last time
