I am also having this problem on 2 new Dimension 8200's running Dell-installed Windows 2000 SP2, formatted FAT32. It appears to occur randomly, and can happen either in Windows Explorer or in any other program with a Browse function. It occurs only when exploring local drives; network drives are explorable. Once it occurs, the only option is to reboot and pray Explorer will work for awhile.

This needs to be resolved before I install the other 3 machines I ordered, or Dell will find all 5 back at their receiving dock.

I'm having a similar problem with Windows Explorer, but I have XP. Did you ever find a solution?
