Hi all, I am running windows xp 3.00 gb processor 1gb ram. I have my hard drive split into C: and D: drives.
My problem is that when I open a particular folder in my D drive ( my downloaded torrents folder) I get the msg Windows explorer has encountered a problem and has to shut down. If I click on " dont send" it immediately closes and explorer refreshes.
I have run AVG and didnt find anything
I ran ad-aware and found 3 problems which the program dealt with but it made no difference to the problem.
I tried running avg and ad-aware while in safe mode and it seemed to help but the problem returned.
Any help would be great

Right click on My Computer-> Properties->Advanced Tab-> Click on Error reporting button->Select disable error reporting (also unchecked But notified me when a critical error).

Righ click on My computer again-> properties->manage->services->set alerter to disabled->Error reporting service to manual or disabled.
