Exclamation [WIN7] My Computer - not opening, not responding

So lads, since a couple of days i got this problem

when i go to the start menu and hit computer (to show all the drives) it either doesnt open it at all, or gives me a new blank explorer window which isn't responding.


in both cases after around 5 min everything will display as it should, but something's wrong there...


i already ran malwarebytes scan, didnt find anything, i defragged (no that it helps anything anyways).


I read somewhere that setting the DCOM service to manual, but before I do that i wanna ask around here

any solutions?

Do you have any discs in your optical drive?

Try disconnecting the optical drive and try again.


I get a prob like this when my optical drive refuses to read the disc that's in it lol.

yeah, i tried that already, makes no difference without a disc or now, there's no activity with the drive

and strange that it only started recently like that...

hmm, i turned off my phones bluetooth

now it seems to work fine, my pc always connects to my pc via bluetooth once i'm in the same room,

so i can see who's calling me, so i can take calls with my pc, send sms etc..

strange though, this never affected the pc performance at all, never!!

first i thought it was deamon tools, or something else, but then i remembered that i had a nokia pc suite update, that was probably it..

i should remember this for the future: never update software, unless it's broken or not performing as it should..

No, always update software in my opinion, for the new software fixes bugs and exploits of the old. An un-updated copy of Windows XP that "works fine" is in fact a leaky virus magnet ready to explode.
