ATV Florida Forum

I know this is a ATV forum but I thought it might be worth a shot. When I click on My Network sometimes my desktop resets, or I get 2 errors (explorer error and Dr Watson Postmortem error) I have bought 2 different laptops... both same problems. I tried to run regsvr32 webvw.dll but it also says error 0x80004005. As far as I am aware windows is up to date and all drivers are up to date. I am at wits end please if anyone can help. Thanks for your time.
