Windows Explorer crashes during cut and paste

Whenever I try to do a cut and paste, windows explorer crashes. It doesn't
matter if I am doing it between 2 windows or copy, then navigate to the new
location, and paste. This is Vista Ultimate...AthalonXP 2200+, 2 gig ddr
ram, 300gig hd

RE: Windows Explorer crashes during cut and paste

Eric,

I have a very similar problem on Home Premium. Windows Explorer crashes if
I drag a file from one folder to another. I have to cut and paste TWICE
before it works, i.e. the first time nothing happens, subsequent cut and
paste works ok. Not helpful to you I know, but hopefully someone from
Microsoft will respond.

RE: Windows Explorer crashes during cut and paste

This has happened to me as well Eric. I don't know, but I think maybe Vista
is trying to get us to use the print button on the toolbar instead of the
"file" then "print" feature. (not good when we only want to print selections)
When IE reloaded, the "file, print" feature then did work for me after a
couple of times using the print button on the toolbar. During that same time,
I was also notified that my DSL connection was interrupted and it rebooted
then too. So could it be possible that our connection would have something to
do with it? Maybe.. both things happened at the same time but haven't
happened since.
