Brand new laptop with Win7 Pro running XP mode using the virtual machine supplied with Windows.

Basically the windows explorer on the Win7 side just doesn't want to open unless I restart the whole laptop and then it only works for a short time thereafter. Everything else works as it should, and I can even go to write an email and browse for the file.

For some weird reason my USB stick won't show up on the XP mode side, despite me trying to attach it, so I have to copy/paste files from the USB in Win7 to XP. But given that I can't open it unless I browse as mentioned, I have to restart the machine!

Any idea what would cause this?

Does the explorer.exe process continue to run while this is happening?

Yes it seems to be. There are a lot of processes running as well it seems, over 100 and it all appears like stuff Lenovo put on here.
