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.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
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.
I think that the solution is deactivating all video hardware acceleration options in adobe software like Adobe Reader, FlashPlayer, etc.
My ramdomly crashes are finished.
A shellextension is mostly the causes. Download the reg file from my skydrive and import it, when explorer crashes again, you'll see a dmp file under C:\localdumps. Please upload this file.

I've had the same problems with my computer, just not the error logs, like a few minutes ago i opened a folder & then i closed it & windows explorer crashed, then it restarts, could this be a problem in a resent microsoft update, or just a windows 7 bug?
Hi Rene,
give me the dumps please!
