    Windows Explorer has stopped working....

    When ever I try to open up a folder to view files, it freezes and a windows pops up and says "Windows Explorer has stopped working..." and 2 seconds after that it says "Windows Explorer is restarting..." and my screen flashes and the toolbar at the bottom goes away and cames back.

    This happens alot in Windows Vista and Windows 7 Unfortunately you cannot do anything about it, And also when the Taskbar disappears and comes back- This is Normal the Taskbar is Windows Explorer

    Many Thanks,
    Josh
