So, everytime I view my 'my pictures' section, about 5-10 seconds after staying on that file, browsing and stuff, this error notation always pops up.



Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library.
Runtime Error!
Program: C:/Windows/explores.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unsual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.



What's going on?

Sorry...I really can't help because...you said you get that problem ONLY when you open the "My Pictures" folder?

That's really strange....are you using any type of program at all....?????

wrong section. Needs to be in troubleshooting and help sub-section.

Your computer is infected with either a virus/trojan... and/or spyware. There's no such legitimate file called "explores.exe" in Windows. It's a typical ploy of virus/spyware/trojan writers to use filenames that look similar to real windows files, in this case "explorer.exe" is the real windows file. Read the spyware pinned thread for recommended programs, update both your antivirus & spyware scanners to the latest definitions, then scan. Good luck.
