Delete the MachineThrottling registry entry in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions

nope... there is no MachineThrottling entry at the path

Can you run sfc /scannow in elevated command prompt?

Also check event log and report what you find.

Be prepare. There is a high chance that the solution for this problem is a re-installation of Window.

i run the command but the problem still persist.... how to check event log?

Try running checkDisk... also try doing a "repair" from your windows Cd...

Check event log by typing "event log" in search.

Well, if explorer.exe is borked, you have some really serious problems with your windows install.

How long has this been going on, and when did it start?

i dont know.. it happens when i uninstall Internet Download Manager if im not mistaken... btw i already restored back the windows using the ASUS restore image... there goes all my programs and data ( it reimaged back the C: drive ).. it just weird it happened like that..
