hi there,
Time NoteBook A430
WinME

problem everytime i plug in the LAN cable explorer freezes

i have service packed and anti malware, ad aware, virus scanned, memory checked, dfragged, scanned etc

i done everything

i have a selective start up and no abnormal programs running
Explorer crashes when it negotiates with the network

if i unplug the cable and ctrl+alt+del and end the "Explorer" process, wait about 20 secs i am able to use my machine as normal but again as soon as i plug the cable in it freezes again.

i have deleted all the connection protocols and reinstalled all the drivers for the network cards etc and i have used a different browser (Firefox) and re-installed IE6.0 but nothing helps

if i restart the machine with the lan cable plugged in then Explorer will crash

err help

i do agree that it is the OS at fault but it did use to work.
i know this seems like a waste of time and a reinstall would have been much easier its just i would like to know why the system is failing.

[dsenette]

right. it's just that there is no obvious reason why it would do that. you are saying that IE crashes not Windows explorer right?

[fingerbang]

no, its Explorer that crashes
IE is not the cause or reason
the network is the reason

ok thats what i thought you meant. just making sure
