Kindle causes Explorer to freeze

A another day, another problem.

When I plug in my Kindle to my PC running Windows XP, all open 'explorer' windows (ie My Computer and stuff like that, dunno about websites) stop responding. I Ctrl+Alt+Del-ed and ended all the open explorer windows as well as stopping explorer.exe. I tried then doing 'New Task' button and typing 'explorer' and all that to restart explorer.exe. Well, explorer.exe starts running in the background but never actually pop up on the screen (so I'm missing my toolbar and stuff) and it only shows up as using 11mb of ram (it usually uses 2x or 3x as much, more when booting up).

After rebooting my computer half a dozen times, I'm frustrated enough to possibly install Linux or something just for Kindle if I can't get this thing working soon. Oh, and I just did the Windows updates and haven't been able to 'properly' restart my computer after it.

(I hope it's okay I made a new thread since it's a new problem I'm having).

Thanks to anyone who actually reads this.
