Default Windows Explorer Crashes, Restarts Every other day or so


Hi everyone,

The forums have helped me tweak my Vista quite a bit. I have a problem,
however, with something else other than tweaking my boot, my L2 Cache
size and what not. When I open Control Panel, sometimes Windows Explorer
dies on me and restarts. I have a baller computer, so there is really no
issue with the computer specs and running Vista. When I open the Control
Panel, there is nothing processor intensive going on, so that aint it.
Opening the CP after Windows Explorer has restarted does go just fine.
Has anyone had this problem b4?

Best,

KOKO

Yes...I have the same problem...I use an HP Pavilion a6700f with Vista64
installed.....Have had nothing but problems with Vista64.
I called HP support to see if I could get a copy of Windows XP. No Luck.
The computer is fine...the OS SUCKS. IMHO
I really hope somebody finds a fix...getting annoying having to restart
every few hours.

I did.

I downloaded ShellExView and disabled Video Thumbnail Extractor. Explorer
was choking on corrupted video trying to extract a thumbnail from it. I
deleted the video file and turned it back on. Hopefully it will stay fixed.

Also another one that could be a problem is Bluetooth. I am not sure if
it's Windows Bluetooth or the WIDCOMM 6.1 software/driver from Broadcom, but
Explorer will also stop working and restart if I have the USB Bluetooth
dongle plugged in.
