First thing first, do NOT boot into safe mode. It may seem counter intuitive, but let me explain. The reason explorer is crashing is because a program is loading that forces it to crash. If you boot into safe mode, that program will load much faster, and you will have little to no chance to do what you need to accomplish.



Fixing this problem comes down to one thing: Being able to click really fast. This is what you do. Turn on the computer with it plugged into an Ethernet cable, click start, and launch Windows Defender. If explorer crashes before you are able to do this, try again until you get it. When you succeed, wait for explorer to crash again, since Windows Defender will remain open. When it is responsive, click on the down facing arrow all the way on the right, and choose “Check for updates”. Chances are explorer will crash again. When it becomes responsive, click on the scan down arrow, and choose “Quick Scan”. The scan will start a stop and go scan… at this point you should just walk away since it will probably take a while. If the scan finishes and no problems were found, then make sure that the updates were applied, and then do a “Quick Scan” again. Windows Defender should find the problem(s), so remove them all.



Now to keep yourself protected...



The easiest way to fix any remaining issues is using Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware (Turn off system restore, Download it, update it, do a full scan, and remove everything it finds).



I would also recommend the following programs to make sure that you don't get infected again in the future:

Spybot - Search & Destroy

Avira AntiVir Personal

Spyware Doctor Starter Edition

Your sister probably messed it up on accident .She probably went to a bad website that had a virus and she did`nt know it. Some movie sites have a virus in them. and also the cartoon and comic strips sites as well.Take it to a techie at best buy to fix it.

First, make sure you have installed SP1 for Vista. Right mouse click the Computer item in your start menu, select the properties choice and there on the General tab should be the version of Vista plus the SP level (if installed)



Are you running current anti-virus, anti-spyware/adware programs??

Do you have a firewall like Comodo Pro or Zonealarm?



Your symptoms sound suspiciously like you have gotten malware on your computer.



Try running either of the free scanners below to help you get rid of the malware.

1. Make sure you are running all programs in administrator mode. And if Need be reinstall.



2. If you cannot put a password in you might not be under the administrator account which might explain Windows explorer crashing.

To see if you are under administrator, Right Click "My computer" go to "Manage". A new window pops up. Go to Users and passwords. Right click "youraccounts name" and you should see a list of options. If you are not an administrator you might not even get to this part.



If you are unable to add a password your sister might have messed with things to keep you from doing such. But I don't know your sister. Would she do such a thing?



Now if this all doesn't work. Reinstall "firebird" and make sure its installed under the administrators account. But if you were not able to

Change your password then you are not the administrator.



You mentioned sister. If you are living with your parents you might have to have them go under their account to do everything.



I hope this makes sense.
