ydoaPs Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 i closed My Documents and it decided it didn't want to respond. when it finally went away, so did my taskbar and my desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangloss Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 That's interesting. I don't recall KDE distros typically having a "My Documents" folder. Makes sense, I guess -- might make things easier for people transitioning from Windows to Linux. (Or were you a Gnome guy? I can't remember for sure now.)

ydoaPs Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 i still have to use windows for the internet, because i'm not smart enough to figure out how to configure my cable modem on my distro. on thursday, i am getting Ubuntu 5.04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangloss Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Oh this was a Windows problem? I gotcha. Are you still having problems or did it just recover on reboot? Windows Explorer can sometimes reset itself, but if not you can just reboot and it generally recovers pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiohead Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 If that happens again, CTRL+ALT+DEL > New Task > explorer.exe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2SO4 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 If windows has occassional crashes, id reformatte and reinstal windows. I reformatted my familys desktop the other day becuase applications would crash alot, and now none crash at all. I guess linux and unix are notorious for being very stable. I gotta try lnux some day, but im still trying to fully understand windows. I still have alot to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaynos Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 explorer.exe has always had issues with occational crashes, it genrally only happens very infrequently and is nothing to worry about. If it keeps happening you might want to try and work out why :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaynos Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Sometimes funny plugins will make it crash, I've never had a problem personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
