Other than Internet Explorer

How old is your machine? It sounds like you need to upgrade your ram. In the mean time, how many folders do you have open or how much do you have running when you're trying to delete the folders? Also how much do you have in your recycle bin? You might need to dump the stuff in the recycle bin. Also you might need to defragment the computer. It is something that I do at least once a month. Usually more often. I don't use IE too much. I prefer Fire Fox because of the extra protection. You might also be able to open IE without going online and you might be able to delete folders that way. Up grading your ram (random access memory) isn't too expensive and will more than likely cure the problem. The computer I have now has something like one or two gigabytes of ram. The sites on the net are more and more demanding of the ram space on your computer.

i think it the ram of your computer.. you need to upgrade your system so you can use internet explorer or other browser efficiently...

Firefox is a lot better in my opinion. It has more protection. If you start to open a site that is potentially unsafe it will pop up a warning. I find it much easier and better than internet explorer.

I don't understand. A folder on top of your site? Well anyway, if I were you, I'll install a deepfreeze in your PC. set the deepfreeze on your drive C: where you install all your programs and don't deepfreeze drive D:, make sure there is this partition on your drive. DeepFreeze will reset your drive to its previous content after you turn of your PC. So everything that is deleted will return and those created will be deleted, with this you can now prevent you PC from virus. Just remember to save all your important data at drive D:, and not on C: because on the moment you turn off your computer, all data that are created at drive C: will be erase including the viruses.

It may be a bug in the IE Try using firefox http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/personal.html

Its probably your ram, how much is it? or maybe a virus is causing the trouble.

sallyj download firefox and then try to delete a folder ,it wo rks so much better, I also have Internet Explorer but never use it for anything but email with Thunderbird Mozilla. IE is not the best really. you cannot have a lot of folders open with IE or it shuts down, so use Firefox as you can have more tabs open and still run well.

It happens to me too..I keep on refreshing it over & over & over again..It is freaking me out at the moment..the system is getting slower than ever & that is driving to the edge of insanity :(

I recommend firefox for you, and buying additional ram if you have 512mb or less. It's really simple to upgrade it check it out.

usually the internet explorer isnt hte most stable of the browser but for description, sounds more like a memory problem or even over heating during time, check out the temp and your memories
