I ran into this problem. It says Windows Explorer has stopped working,
shuts down and then it restarts Windows Explorer.

I found Broadcom's WIDCOMM 6.1 driver/software causes problems with
Explorer, so I uninstalled it. I still have some Bluetooth service with the
Kensington Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR, but not as extensive as with the WIDCOMM
software.

Corrupted media files will also cause Windows Explorer to crap out randomly.
After working fine for mins after boot, then it would all of a sudden stop
working everytime I opened My Computer. I downloaded ShellExView and
disabled Video Thumbnail Extractor. I eventually found the corrupted the
video file. I couldn't open and play it even though I had all kinds of
codecs installed and it used to open fine. I deleted it and turned Video
Thumbnail Extractor back on. This is just to point out that instead of
generating an error on what file caused the problem, Windows Explorer will
opt to stop working. So the problem could be something else not listed.

 

Thanks I dont have WINDCOMM, you mention ShellExView. where can i get
that and is that easy to use? I appreciate the help.

ok i tried ShellExView, disabling one by one, but is there a better
solution? I have the right click syndrome as i read thru searches. Is my
only option to reformat? Also why does this happen? Thanks anyone.

After installing some windows updates, I was having issues as well. The
error is most notable when attempting to move files in windows explorer
(right click, and windows explorer crashes). The error showed iexplorer
as the culprit, but upon more investigation, it turned out to be WMP.

Fix for me was to download shellmenuview from 'ShellMenuView -
Disable/enable context menu items of Explorer'
()

Run the program. Look for greyed out items, highlight them, then right
click and select "enable selected."

Then try to replicate your problem to see if it is fixed.

Thank you i did what you explained above, all greyed out items i
enabled, rebooted, everything looked fine. Then it just happened, i
opened explorer and double clicked on a folder, BOOM, it crashes, i need
to close with the x on the right upper corner, then i restart. This is
annoying, planning on reformatting, i use acronis image file, but it
sucks that i have an image from 4/25/2009 date, and i killed the first
image that just had clean install and updates. I dont want to reformat,
hope for other suggestions and simple ones since i'm a rookie.
Everything shows disbled in shellmenu.

mn, have you given a thought to using Firefox as your browser. I have never
had a crash using it. It may be worth your time looking into.

I use Firefox, that's my favorite browser, i have installed IE8 but
that's because wife likes it better. It not worth the headache. It
doesn't crash with Firefox, only when i open IE explorer (not the
browser)

Unless I'm mistaken, the OP is talking about Windows Explorer, not Internet
Explorer.

Without details, it is hard to say what exactly is wrong.

The problem is most likely caused by some third party tool which is
integrated with Explorer. Reformatting will help until you once again
install the third party tool. So it might be better to hunt down the tool
before you decide to do anything so drastic as reformatting.

Something basic you could try is turning of all previews. Under Windows XP,
"Tools", "Folder options..." and then the "General" tab. Under Windows Vista
"Organize", "Folder and Search Options" and then the "General" tab.

I tried shutting down some stuff, i used shellview, enabled wmp 11,
nothing. This is really annoying. And i notice that if i restart
explorer.exe, then everything is ok. I thought it was a virus, but NOD32
doesnt see one, malwarebytes either. i'm gathering up my stuff to
reformat this weekend, just hope that i can find the culprit before
then.

There's not enough to go on there: app hangs are a lot harder to diagnose
than crashes.

Uploading the DMP file might enable someone to take a look at what's going
wrong.

Thank You how do I upload the DMP and what is it.

mn072065

 

The DMP file is produced when you crash. That part is the ""easy"" part -
if you can figure out how to do that, I or someone else can possibly help
with the much harder part of seeing if we can decipher that. =)
