    Windows 7 64bit on my M11x core2 duo

    Got a weird issue here.
    Everytime I go to the control panel explorer freezes and I have to restart it. This only happens once after I turn the laptop on. And it will happen the first time everytime.
    I tried looking for solutions online but I just didnt get any of it. Im scanning my laptop for issues right now, but if I could get some other advice that would be much appriciated. And try to dumb it down for me please.

    i also posted something related to this issue about three weeks ago.
    i have the same problem, it happens whenever i click too quick, like while control panel or explorer is opening up.
    it won't happen when i get my timings right (slow down a bit).

    Interesting, it happens to me as well. Closing and restarting fixes it, thought it was just me.
