  Thanks for the help.

  I had installed the update of MS Windows Defender KB915597.  After doing a restore to the point of restoration, taken at the time of the update, I am now able to open Windows Explorer.

  Seems that something in this update does not work with my system.  I have had no other problems with Windows Defender updates in the past - it was the first.

  Thank you.

  I created several Windows Explorer shortcuts on my desktop to access records, and records of LAN.

  I want the button files on the toolbar of Windows Explorer or automatically selected when I opened these files, in other words, the left pane should show the tree and the right pane the contents of the folder.

• I can't open anything in my list of downloads

  I can't open anything in my list of downloads. I tried to reset firefox and I also tried everything in your article "What to do if you are unable to download or save files" but nothing helps. I tried to upgrade to the latest firefox to see if that helps, but once I hit the download button, 1 minute later, it appears in my list of downloads and... same problem... I can't open it to run it! It's like he fell down, because no amount of clicking a download will activate anything. It seems that the download list is dead! Also, (and I think it's related), I can't save web pages. I will, however, movements and looks like it's doing the right thing, but do not save pages - they disappear just in the ether! I am on Windows Vista and have been happy things download for years, but suddenly this problem occurred and I am out of ideas now... Help, please!

  Hi mate!

  Can you notice any other problems with the laptop or simply with the network connection? Furthermore, you hear a LAN or WLAN connection?

  What OS are you using and what 3rd party programs have installed you?

  In your case, I'll try to update the drivers and maybe a laptop recovery facility. You should try it with factory settings (preinstalled OS from Toshiba).

  Hi DonDonaldo,

  1. what windows update did you install?

  2. When was the last time you were able to install updates?

  5. If updates are found, clickinstall updates. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  If the previous steps do not solve the problem, you can reinstall .NET Framework manually, but the steps are intended for advanced users. If you are not comfortable performing these steps, ask a friend to help you. You will find the steps in the article toreinstall .NET Framework on the Microsoft Web site.

  Microsoft Office 2003
