Vista - Explorer crashes all the time

Hey all,

My windows explorer seems to crash almost everytime I open it. It will open
then Vista says it encountered a problem and then it closes. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Abe,

Well, the answer is to surely stop opening Explorer! ;-)

Does the same thing happen in Safe Mode? If not, check and see if there
is an update to your Video card driver. Report back.

I had the same problem when I tried an upgrade from XP. I did a clean
install and haven't had any problems since.

Hi,

What does the event viewer say?

Rick's right on the money - Event Viewer and the Problem Reports and
Solutions center provide really helpful data. =)
