Default Windows Explorer Not Responding

I am running Vista Home Premium, and whenever I startup my computer, right
off the start a dialog box pops up that says Windows Explorer is not orking
correctly as if it was not responding. Windows then shuts down Explorer and
about a second later Explorer is restarted, but then the same thing
happens... over and over again. I have managed to start the task manager
which allowed me to manually cancel the Explorer process with out any side
effects, other than not being able to use explorer for anything. Currently I
am using the Task Manager's "New Task" ability to write this. Any help is
greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem until I downloaded an update for my com card. After
the update all has been just fine.

I also experienced this exact problem. I have a new Dell Inspiron 1505 and
after getting a pop up message from Dell saying there was a new driver that
needed to be installed (I'm sorry but at the moment I do not remember which
one) and rebooting, this occurred. I used a restore point from earlier that
day which corrected the issue. I then later received the same pop up from
Dell, but this time I ignored it and have not had any trouble since....

EdHu,

This worked for me. So far so good. Will update if the problem crops up
but I think it should not.

Thanks and ton.

I have been dealing with this same issue for a while now. I have finally
fixed mine I hope. Windows Live installs a program called family safety.
I went into uninstall programs and choose Windows Live, then checked
family safety. As soon as I uninstalled it I was able to right click
start. Use Word, excel and Adobe without lock ups. Hope this helps
someone
