Windows Explorer and other programs will not open / work

Can anyone help? In XP Home Edition, programs as internet explore/microsoft works work only sporadically, but often does not open and then I asks me to send an error report. When I try to stop, Windows Explorer will not work and asks me to send another report of error! ... Can not much experience with these things someone explain what I can do? (I ran a virus scan, and all seems ok)
Thank you

Hi Mike,.

According to my experience, this kind of behaviour is symptomatic of the corruption of data on the hard drive. However, since you say that these applications work sometimes I am inclined to suspect that your hard drive may be failing, possibly with errors in sector where those applications reside.

I suggest that you take a backup copy of the any of your own data files and then run a CHKDSK command on your hard drive to see what he finds (this can make a right click on the HARD drive in my computer icon, then select Properties, then the Tools tab.) Check disk utility is at the top).

If it detects too many bad sectors, and then looking to replace the hard drive and reinstalling your system.

Kind regards
