Default Windows Explorer- abnormal termination

When I click on a folder in Windows Explorer, it beeps and
closes (without expanding to see the folder's contents).
This just started occurring after I corrected a problem
with Norton SystemsWorks 2004. Any suggestions on how to
get Windows Explorer fucntioning properly?

It would appear that using NSW has destroyed your system. I would suggest
that you a) use system restore to restore your system to the state it was in
before you installed and used Symantec's flawed products, and then b)
uninstall and dispose of in the trash can all products carrying the name
Norton or Symantec.

Speaking personally of course but your system really would benefit from never
ever seeing or having installed on it the malware marketed by Symantec.

Your choice. You are running a flawed product, let it wreck your system and
then don't like the advice you're given. What was wrong with using system
restore? Seems you prefer to run a trashed system than fix your problem.

General concensus is that NSW2004 doesn't get along with WinME very
well. I'd suggest using System Restore to roll back to before you
corrected the NSW problem, then either uninstalling NSW, or finding an
alternate solution to whatever problem you had.
