Explorer crashing after SP2 Upgrade

[Adam Clark]

I installed Windows XP SP2 about a week and a half ago with no issues.
However now I am finding that Explorer is crashing frequently for
unexplained reasons.

Has anyone found this error at all? if so has anyone found a patch or fix
for this issue?

Check your startup settings to find out if software running in the
background is causing this. Applications that start with Windows can
be found here:
- the WIN.INI, section [windows], entries "run=" and "load="
- the Registry keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
- the folders
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\{username}\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP
