Computer Help Megathread

Hey Lunyka

It's hard to diagnose problems like this without physical access to the computer, so let's try another angle.

It seems that you're having weird problems with explorer.exe
I know you said your taskbar freezes, but can you still access icons on the desktop?

If so, download and run bblean.
(This isn't a solution to the problem. It's more of a workaround.)

That will open a new program that works just like the taskbar, but everything will look totally different and it will be more like operating linux. If you can get it open, launch the task manager and manually kill explorer.exe
That /should/ fix your problem enough to allow you to browse the internet and do basic stuff.

Also, you said you mom spends like 60 bucks or so every 6 months. Rather than take the computer to the store next time, why not try to convince her to buy a 1TB external drive? Then you can back all your stuff up and format on your own without having to pay someone else to do it.
