Task Bar Lock-up - Explorer un-responsive

Yuri,

I did as you said. I noticed that I had tlbdata files throughout my Documents and Settings (I think I fouled up when I first tried to set up TLB). Also, I deleted some programs I no longer use or whose functions were replaced with TLB and its plugins.

Finally, I searched the web for others who might have this 100% CPU problem with Explorer. It appears, by the discussions in a lot of different user groups, this problem does occur and one user said Microsoft is aware of it, but won't fix it until SP2. In the meantime, I tried all of the suggerstions mentioned to work around it, including updating my video drivers.

So far, there have been some problems since Feb. 19, but not as frequent as before.

I saved part of the System Information report for the past 3 days with info about some of the problems I've had. Does any of this help?
