Vista - Drag and Drop Causes Explorer Crash

About half the time when using Explorer (File Manager) when I drag a file
from the file pane to the folders pane it causes a kinfd of crash - I get a
message that Explorer needs to restart and the explorer application shuts
down. This may happen on a right clicj or a left click. I get the prompt
below the dragged filenamesaying that a move will occur but when I release
the mouse button it crashes.

I am running Vista Business edition on a Sony Vaio TGN-TXN29N.

I have found no ther post with the same complaint

What's the fault bucket number:

Is TosBTExt.dll on your system? I wouldn't think it would be on a Vaio,
but -- I'm curious.

Yes sir it is. Vers 5.0.2424.0. I see that it is Bluetooth related. Why do
you ask?

Is there an update available for that Toshiba Bluetooth extension? If you
disable, uninstall, or remote that, does the crashing stop?

I'm also on a Sony Vaio laptop which has the Toshiba bluetooth chip. I exited the "Bluetooth Manager" in the system tray, and disabled the 4 or 5 bluetooth devices in device manager. This seems to have fixed Explorer crashing on drag & drop operations. Thanks Toshiba bluetooth. (Sony VGN-TZ90S)

I am also on a Sony Vaio laptop and can confirm philcarter's finding.
Turning off Toshiba Bluetooth will allow drag and drop in Windows Explorer to
work.

The alternate that works is to highlight the folders/files, copy and paste.

Thanks for the discovery, philcarter. Need to check if Sony/Toshiba have a
fix for this yet....

Hi,

I just bought a Toshiba L200-P532. I also had the windows explorer and
internet explorer crashes. So far turning off all blu tooth devices,
controllers and software seemd to to have solved the problem. In other words
Vista seems fine but some blue tooth vendors including Toashiba seems to have
a problem.
