    Hi team - I have two separate problems that I need to fix..

    1st - In my internet explorer & in my mozilla firefox websites will appear twice. For instance if I pull up google I will see
    Google
    Search bar
    -----
    Google
    Search bar
    - everything just laid on top if itself like that. Also links just have a tendency to not work a lot of the times and require me to click a few times, certain websites like imeem no longer work... I've done virus scans but to no avail.

    2nd - When I open certain folders in my computer explorer.exe will just crash, and any folders open will immediately close & give me the standard windows error. This is the issue that appeared first, months before the other one. It seems to occur only in folders that contain video files.

    If anybody has any clue on how to fix these I would deeply appreciate it.
    Thanks

    I think I have a answer to the crashing problem. Windows video preview has stopped working. Had the same problem when Iwas using XP. You can turn the preview of like this:

    Open Start menu >> Run >> type regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll
    if pictures cause the same problem >> regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll

    And if you want it back:

    regsvr32 shmedia.dll
    regsvr32 shimgvw.dll

    The video problem may also be a broken codec. I had the same problem with the xVid codec. As for the internet prob, have you tried emptying cookies/cache? Or tried another web browser? Or checked your router settings?
