Explorer closes when pressing certain keys

Hi everyone

I'm having a huge and irritating problem here... When I browse my files with explorer when I press DELETE or CTRL (could be more) the explorer closes, the navigation bar (next to start goes empty and after a while the items that were started appear again, but of course the explorer is closed... Anyone know what I should do?

Thanks!

Jens

 

Have you tried a system restore? Do you have XP Home or Pro?
You are talking about Windows Explorer, right?

What are you trying to do when you are pressing delete and control?

I tried a systemrestore, but the restore would only go back to yesterday, and that's when I ntoiced the problem. I have Windows XP home and yes I'm talking about Windows explorer. I have just found that that if I press ANY button on my keyboard windows explorer closes. Things I'm doing for pressing those buttons:

Copy/Paste with CTRL+ C or V
Renaming a file
Cutting a piece of a text of a file
...

 

Sometimes when XP gets messed up this procedure will work http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-sfc.html to fix any files that software installs may have fouled up.
