I got an Acer Aspire 5630 a few weeks ago from PC world and it already had Vista loaded on it.
Ive installed Oblivion but when I went to play the game a message comes up saying "Oblivion has stopped working" (so now Ive downloaded a thing called Oldblivion and that lets me play oblivion but the graphics are worse and it slows down every now and again, but I don't mind about that too much(and i know that my vdeo card is shit))
Then I downloaded MSN messenger but when I open that I get another message:
"MSN messenger has stopped working" (Ive found out that when I right click on it and click on "open as administrator" it works.)
And now the latest problems:
somehow Ive picked up a virus or malware or something called "W32.Myzor.FK@yf" (well thats what the warning sign says it is (and another warning message says I have SkyBot@MXt Or something like that)) which got through my Norton Internet Security, so I posted threads on this website on the internet security page or whatever its called and two people gave me the same thing to download (something called Smitfraudfix as it says about the virus thingy I've got and how to get rid of it)
So I started doing the steps it says to take (really happy as I thought I can get rid of my virus) but it says it only works on XP or 2000. So I still have the virus
At the same time the virus started, new error messages have been coming up.
As soon as my laptop gets to the desktop page I get a message that says "Windows Explorer has stopped working" then another message comes up saying "Windows Explorer is restarting" then the screen sort of flashes and then 5 seconds later the message comes up again and just keeps happening.
When the screen flashes most programs close them self. I can open Windows Internet Explorer and Norton Internet security but stiff like Documents or anything that is in the middle of opening will close when the screen flashes.
I dont know wheter this is due to the virus or if this is just another Vista problem.
Does anyone else on Vista experience this Windows Explorer error and is there anyway to sort it out?
Thanks!
