Can you please help??

Thanks, GEP

Before you fuss with it, take it back to the store and exchange it. You should not have to repair a brand new computer.

Hello all, i tried opening windows explorer & control panel this morning, works o.k now.
I downloaded 39 updates from Microsoft update and maybe i should have rebooted my computer.
Probably a software conflict.

Seems ok now, so will see how it goes, GEP
