Hey, I have Vista (on laptop) and 3 different accounts on it. My account
(administrator) occasionally gets this error where it says something like,
Windows explorer has caused an error, etc… and my screen gets completely
distorted and the taskbar flips upside down and such. This ONLY happens on
administrator by the way, what can I do to solve the problem?
Your taskbar flips upside down?! That’s not good. The only thing that could cause that (although I’ve certainly never seen it) is a graphics card issue or some problem with the monitor. But you say that you get a windows error, hmm… And you say it only happens in one account?
Here’s what is probably is. You probably have some graphics program or some kind of program running in the backgroud in your Admin account that you don’t have in the other accounts. This program might be directly causing the errors or it might be conflicting to create the symptoms you’ve described.
Try going into Configuration Utility and disabling any programs in your Admin account that are not in the other accounts. Just go to Start>Run. Type in “msconfig” and click on the “Start-up” tab. There will be a list of programs there. Remove anything you don’t need but make sure you know what your removing (for example not a good idea to remove antivirus processes.)
Make sure that you have uptodate drivers for you graphics card as well.
