I will be on the computer going to a website and the computer just freezes. It says Microsoft Explorer is not responding and when it asks if you want to send an error report, there are two items in the C drive mentioned. I have tried to look for them, but they I can't find them. Does anyone have any suggestions about this because the problem is really annoying!

I have a Dell computer, about 8 months old,512 RAM-100gigs hard drive, and it has been doing stuff like that from day one. Just spent $200 on a new hard drive, and it helped a lot, but it still does it {freezes up} from time to time. Guess Dell computers are just cheap pieces of sh*t. Hope yours isn't a Dell.
De-fragmenting and disc cleaning helps, but isn't always the answer to the problem. Be sure to check for spyware. Spybot is a good spyware remover.

You also might want to try defraging your drive. If I do a lot of web surfing my primary drive gets really fragmented and the windows start opening up with only partial or scramble graphics and the number of working windows gets fewer and fewer until I defrag.
You didn't specify which two items are causing the problem. They could be damaged .dll or .tmp files that Windows Explorer utilizes. You might have to backup you files and then reinstall Windows (along with your other applications) to correct the problem.

Too bad you did not mention the 'items of interest'.
Who is your browser? Yahoo has a 'pretty good' security suite.
Before you go to your web connection, try-- start-control panel- select performance and maint.- select pick a task, select one of the 5 options for computer maint. try them all. Then, if no go, select 'system', in dialog box select 'system restore' and go back to a 'happier time' when you did not have this problem.
Stay off chat sites, infested- --myspace is famous for this-- go to www.ccleaner.com , and download 'ccleaner', to keep your comp. more germ free. use it every time you log off.
Good luck

I can give you a link that deals with hard drive problems.
Some RAM/ hard drive problems can be easily fixed yourself by using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in useful

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
