| Guest | default programs --- explorer crashes! and a question about system restore too... i am using windows vista ultimate and no updates have been installed. whenever i try opeaning "Associate a file type or protocol with a program" under default programs in control panel explorer crashes. i try to search for online solutions but nothing seems to happen. what could be the problem? in all other ways the system works fine. also, reently i check the system restore window and i learnt my system has only 3 restore points. the last time i used my system was on 14th jan and that was the last system restore point created. i installed vista last december so i was expecting some more restore points. i have not manually deleted any and have also not disabled system point at any time. can anyone comment on it? thanks in advance.

Neerav When you have done this, report back whether your problem has been solved or not. Or is there a specific reason why you have not yet run Windows Update... |

| Guest | Re: default programs --- explorer crashes! and a question about system restore too... Agreed. Run Update and gat all the updates needed. Should be about 40 or 50 updates. One of the updates could possibly fix your issue. Other than that try to create a restore point manually. -- ~Alex T~ ..:~A.K.A. Makaveli213~:. ..:MVP Windows Shell/User:.
