Desktop keeps refreshing

by estreetjerseygirl . Updated 22 years, 7 months ago

My computer keeps refreshing the desktop and taskbar for no apparent reason. I’ll open up a folder and all of a sudden, I get the message: “Windows Explorer has encountered an error and needs to close.” All the icons on my desktop disappear, as does the taskbar, and a few seconds later, they come back, but all the folders I had opened are now closed. It’s not any folder in particular that makes this happen; I could be in C:\Program Files or F:\Pics, it doesn’t matter. I have more than enough room on my hard drive for the virtual memory; I don’t have any spyware installed (I run both SpywareBlaster and Spybot – S&D with the latest updates); I don’t have any viruses (I update the definitions daily); and I’ve already tried repairing Windows (XP Home).

Can someone PLEASE tell me how to fix this problem? Thanx!
