Re: windows explorer has stopped working

Is there anything else stated on the error message. A number or something that we can work with.

Re: windows explorer has stopped working

After many problems with IE i have changed to Firefox and have not regretted it. It will solve all your problems.

Re: windows explorer has stopped working

@echrada - It will not solve the problems of sites that require you to use IE because of specific ActiveX components.

By all means suggest an alternate browser, but when someone asks for help fixing something, it would be nice to offer some of that too.

Also, the original poster is talking about ***windows*** explorer - as in it crashes when on the desktop and hence there is no desktop no icons, etc...

@jaag - you are talking about Windows explorer, not Internet explorer, right?
