Explorer probs

Hi
I have been given a laptop with Vista, when it boots, I log on and all I
get is the
desktop then a message which say's windows says that it has detected a
problem with explorer and needs to restart, so it does then the message
comes up again, and again in a loop.

this all happened after I plugged in a brand new out of the box iPod.which
when I
plugged it into my desktop PC works fine, the only other info I can give is
the ipod was in Chinese language when I first turned on using the desktop PC
which it needs to charge up. I changed it to English and all is fine, so I
don't know if this is what has caused the problem on the laptop

Any ideas?

Thanks

Gordon

Hi,

Hit F8 as the system initially boots to get the boot menu. Try the last
known good configuration.

Have you tried System Restore?
