Ask her because you guys know everything, hehe. Whenever I open my Explorer, or a folder in my Explorer (Win98), I get a gray screen where my files are suppose to be. I right click on it and a Close box comes up. I click on it and I then can see my files. The same thing happens when I open IE. Can anybody help? One day I'll find the time to learn Linux, I promise.
