The Windows explorer keeps on terminating and starting again, sometimes not even starting again unless I do it manually, though it will just terminate again in a few seconds. There aren't any error messages, but all the desktop icons will disappear only showing the wallpaper and any open folders will close too. I've looked at the system process and there are two processes running that don't normally do: rundll32.exe and imapi.exe. Thanks ahead of time if this can be resolved.
