Running Windows XP home edition. IF I open "my Computer" it locks computer. It does the same thing if I open windows explorer. How do I fix this?

Hello briffel, welcome to the TC.

Try this

You can use windows sfc (system file checker) You'd need your XP CD to make this work.
Click Start> Run> type sfc /scannow Note the space.
(Note that there is a space between sfc and /scannow)
