hey guys,

My PC at home has been acting up since this weekend.Everytime I open MY COMPUTER , explorer.exe starts eating up resources and it ends up hangin and then i have to END TASK and restart explorer.If I dont browse thru my files,opening mozilla and playing games like DOD:source or any other game,it doesnt hang.I ran spybot and adaware and removed the threats.I am considering formattin my 40gig hdd,but I wanna know whats wrong.Any clues guys??

In the Folder Options control panel, disable "Automatically search for network folders and printers" under the View tab. Might help.
