Try reading this, Chopper. But like Jazz has inferred, we really need more info. Is there an error in your event viewer?

WHERE DO I FIND THIS EVENT VIEWER? NOT TO SURE BUT YES JAZZ I AM PRETTY SURE THAT WAS THE WAY THE ERROR WENT....

Start->Programs->Administrative Tools->Event Viewer.

Or->Start->Programs->Administrative tools.

If you don't have the admin tools enabled to show where I have stated, then right click on start, properties, and customize your start menu to show the Admin Tools.

The .dll part is confusing me. The .exe is DrWatson......:???:

Keep posting. There has to be an answer.

OK VIKTORIA FORGET THE DLL PART OF IT......I LOOKED IN DR.WATSON THERE WAS SOME APPLICATION ERRORS WITH EXPLORER AND Y MESSENGER.......BUT WHAT I CANT UNDERSTAND IS WHY MY SCREEN WAS LIKE THAT WHEN I LOGGED INTO WINDOWS NON-RESPONSIVE?? AND IN THE EVENT VIEWER IT SHOWED THE SAME.....THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE WEIRD THINGS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I DID THE UPDATE FROM MICROSOFT ON TUESDAY. :???:

We're your program icons missing from your desktop too?. It sounds like Windows Explorer may have crashed and not re-started itself. My desktop computer used to do it all the time . I doubt it is anything to worry about though ;-).
