Hello.

I've recently been experiencing severe problems with Vista on my Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop.

Whenever I attempt to open a folder or system page it never loads. I can leave it loading for hours but it never happens. Annoyingly this also means that I cannot open the 'connect to a network' page and thus cannot connect to the internet.

This problem does not occur when I try and open a program. They open normally and with reasonable speed. Also, I can access files through programs that are in folders I cannot otherwise open, but this is the only workaround I have.

I suspected that it may be memory related and have cleared several gb's from my hard drive but with no success. I also ran a windows diagnostics memory tool to check for memory issues but with no success. I've also ran full virus scans with no success.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
