"Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working" - Message Appears
I get this message everytime that I try to install a network printer in Vista
Ultimate. I bring the "Add Printer" wizard, select netwrok printer, and I get the "Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working" box, then Explorer restarts and I'm back to square one. I'm running Vista Ultimate on a 2.67 GHz Quad-Core CPU & 4GB RAM. Thanks, Mike

Is this a home network or a domain?

I tried to search the message as it appeared and received 7 results, none of
which were helpful. Can you point me to a specific article?

"Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working" - Message Appears
Alan:
Okay, after a nice weekend off and clearing the workweek cobwebs, I went into the group policy and changed a few settings. However, trying to add a network printer still causes Windows Explorer to crash and restart. Is there anything else that you can suggest? I guess that I just cannot understand why this simple little thing would cause Explorer to bomb the way that it does. Thanks in advance for any help.

Don't use the Printers Folder wizard to install the printer
START \\remoteserver Right click the shared printer name Connect Because a bstr is not initialized and a domain function fails You can also add a string to the AD default location field in an attempt to work around this.

Sorry that I took so long to get back to you. I am currently using Windows Server 2003. I will try to follow the method that you just mentioned.
