I have a bit of a problem, I am using a Dell 1720 laptop running Vista 32 bit and for about the last month Windows Explorer errors out on me constantly. I'm talking at least 15 times a day. I can open Explorer windows but once I do any sort of function (copy, paste, cut, move, right click, etc.) I get an error that says:
"Windows Explorer has stopped working
Windows in checking for a solution to the problem"
Then windows explorer restarts itself, closing any and all explorer windows I had open. Its quite frustrating not being able to access your files at all. I have done scan and clean with SpyBot, CCleaner, AVG, Windows Defender and am running Norton 360 which says it is up to date currently. What am I or those apps missing???
Here is the HiJackThis log:
