The crashes do not stall my system its just that the pop up window shows up saying I have restart windows explorer again. I'm wondering if its a program I installed or something else. I do not want to reinstall windows 7 in order to fix this problem. Any help is appreciated. Please let me know if more information is required. Thank you.

Continual Windows Explorer crashes.  Depending on my activity, how many windows/programs I was opening and closing as often as every few minutes.

For me, it was the Trend Micro Internet Security Suite.  I took that out, life is good again and my new computer is finally performing as I expected it would.

A pity, I've been with them since they were PCCillin.

    Hi Andre,

    can you solve my problem too? I also have explorer crushing problem in W7 64bit for about two weeks now.

    Hi Mile,

    your error happens while showing the tooltips:

    explorer!CTrayNotify::_ShowInfoTip+0xe9:

    This happens when Windows files are corrupted.

    Please start the command prompt (cmd.exe) with admin rights [1] and run sfc [2]:

    sfc.exe /scannow

    Is it able to find and repair broken files? Is the Explorer now working again?

    best regards

    André

    I've created the DUMP file. Hope to have set it up properly (create dump file through Task Manager->Processes),

    Please create the dump with the WER service by importing the reg file.

    Hello,

    Andre could you help me, my explorer is still crashing (apparently updating Java took care of the problem, but 2 days later the problem re-appeared). I have no clue on what it causes to crash, but usually it's full screen applications that do it but in sometimes it ain't.

    I've created the DUMP file. Hope to have set it up properly (create dump file through Task Manager->Processes), if you don't mind to analyze it please.

    Thank you in advance!
