What other Drive monitoring, recovery, or checking software might you be running?
Can you open Disk Management, or Defragmenter, in Computer Management, (right-click My Computer, select Manage)?
What is the exact error message?
Have you tried Safe Mode? Or even as a different Administrative user in Normal Mode?

Some general things to try.
See if System Restore will get you back to a restore point before your problem with Explorer.
Try running ChkDsk to check your drive for errors. Right-click your Drive icon/ Properties/ Tools/ Error Checking. Select both boxes.
Run the System File Checker program from the Run Box by typing.....Sfc /Scannow in it and have your XP CD handy.

If they don't work you could try repairing windows by running it over itself. You will lose all your windows updates but your files will be untouched.

you didn't reply to Linney's post or mine - if we're going to help you, a reply would be a terrific idea. Also, details of the error message that you say you get would be helpful ... like, the exact message.
