after cleaning the windows explorer history and temp files, I shut down myu notebook. second day it I started it. It did boot and got the screen with all icons & some programes that at the startup. but it I could nit acces the computer because it is trying to laucnh Windows Explorer. The Message: "Windows Explorer has stopped working" Windows is collectin more information about the problem. I let it go for 12 hours.. nothing happened. I am traveling and I don't have the VISTA CD with me.

Thank you. waiting for someone's prompt response.
