    Do you mean Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer? In either case it's more likely to be operating system/software-related than anything to do with your laptop itself.
  • it says windows internet explorer has stop working and then shuts off it restarts itself again but you then lose any work .can it be easily fixed ? if so how ? thanks

    easiest way to fix it would be to backup all your files and restore the laptop to its factory settings theres normally a DVD or a file on the hard drive to do this, instructions come with the laptop or via there support phone line
  • Have you checked the system for signs of infection?
  • thanks every one it's now fixed and up and running great again
