Hopefully someone will have a solution to this problem:

For 3 days now my laptop has had a problem with explorer. It's running Windows 2000 Workstation Pro, and for some reason I can't open any type of folder from my desktop or listing. This only happens with the folders, such as My Computer, My Documents, Search, etc., as I am still able to run programs. When I click on an icon such as My Computer, I get an explorer error message that reads:

"Program Error: Explorer.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows etc etc"

Once this happens, the desktop will go completely blank of icons and task bar as if it's refreshing itself, and then magically everything will appear again in a matter of seconds.

I've ran AVG, Spy Sweep, and Adaware with no luck. None of them are picking up anything, so I'm clueless as to what the problem is. I took a hijack this scan and got the following log:
