Well, I think I have a partial answer. If you have a Dell get the download
for the model appropriate graphics download update. The Dell update
completely fixed the crashing, but slowed down some apps alot especially the
web browsers- firefox, opera and netscape, even IE some. So I uninstalled
and reinstalled all except IE and all is well, again.

If you do not have a Dell try the update if you are adventurous. Or try the
driver download from Nvidia for your graphics card.

Good Luck!

Ill be working along, and suddenly my start/taskbar goes haywire... and
looks all funny. Ill move my mouse down to the lower right area that shows
the programs running... move the mouse back and forth a bit, and then windows
will say "explorer.exe quit unexpectedly" then it "looks for a soulution
online, never finds anything, and restarts.

Has anyone else had this problems? Im running a P4 system with an ATI
Raedon 1650... it really has no other issues.

Thanks everyone....

Well, the problem is not limited to any certain type of computer. I'm
running Vista home premium on a brand new HP Pavillion dv6000 and have the
exact same problem with the taskbar. I was told that it was a software
problem, used my recovery disc, lost all my documents that I saved to an
external hard drive, and still have the problem. Help!!

Here is what I have found in the recent time...I have the problem only when I
have Internet Explorer open...I have tested this theory on a few occations
and it always works the same...Internet Explorer open, windows explorer
crashes...Internet explorer closed, no crash of windows explorer. If anyone
else is having the same please reply and let me know so that I can see what
you fixed it with or see if we can get microsoft to do anything to fix it...

Hi,

That's a strong indication that the problem is with a plugin/addon that is
loading with Internet Explorer. Go into tools/internet options/programs tab
and click the button the manage addons. Begin by disabling any non-microsoft
plugins that start with internet explorer.

I saw something similar to this on a Clients Vista machine. Evidently either
the Google Toolbar auto-updated or someone tried installing it. Once the
Google Toolbar was disabled IE and Windows Explorer stopped crashing. We
reinstalled the Google Toolbar after that and it still doesn't crash every
time either is launched. My guess is it was a bad install that caused the
problem.

Search for "System Configuration". Then open it (requires admin privileges),
and on the "General" tab, click "Selective Startup" and un-check "Load
startup items". (note: This DOES disable your Gadget Bar)

Hi folks,
I have a Toshiba Satellite with Vista pre-installed, and it is really
terrible. Explorer crashes and start to do very strange thigs, if you make a
drag and click with the mouse, you can draw beauty rectangles, the tool bar
blinks and you can't pick up the applications because they literally
escapes... The program Ares accelerates this, so I can't have the system
running more than one entire day, anucase I need to restart...


Any idea, someone?

Thanks you, Marcelo

Hi i have had this problem from day one when i got my
computer,Explorer.exe keeps crashing.I have found this sulotion,it is
being caused by the program sigmatel(soundmax).
1.Go to programs in the control pannel and uninstall the soundmax
program.
2.Now reboot the machine,windows will reinstall the sound driver. Thats
it...
Note the sound driver will be a microsoft driver,(sigmatel,and
microsoft are very awhere of this problem)They are working on a whql
certified driver,seems this has been an issue since bata releases of
vista.
Hope this helps,let me know..rich b....
