Please set up capturing of debug logs, as described on our wiki. Without
those no one would have any idea what is going on with your install.

I had installed from the vbox image, but decided to install from scratch
from the ROS boot iso.  It works a lot better now.  Screen is good, but
performance is average.  Also it hangs often :(

I can't seem to open the ReactOS Explorer.  It did open ONCE, but not
any more.  When it did open I couldn't find any software to install.
Nothing seemed to happen.

Any ideas ??

Thanks, Brendan.
