Okay, I've recently had to reinstall Windows XP Home for
various reasons. Windows is completely updated, as is my
firewall and antivirus (Sygate PF and Norton
respectively). However, explorer.exe continually
crashes - whenever I open up windows explorer, it's hit
or miss as to whether it will all freeze. When it
freezes, I tell it to end the process and everything
reloads fine, and then there's no problem for a good hour
or so (it may last longer, I don't know becuase I
frequently have to reboot whilst reinstalling all my
programs). If I haven't opened windows explorer though,
sometimes explorer.exe will just crash of its own accord,
and forcably reload the desktop and start bar - without
even saying it's encountered an error and needs to
close. This is becoming *extremely* annoying now, as it
means I can't really use the computer how I want any
more. All the information that I can gather about the
crashes is this:
The application, C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE, generated an
application error. The exception generated was 80000007
at address 00000000 ()
I can't find any other help on the internet about it, and
all virus scans and system scans have come up saying my
computer is in perfect condition and virus free.
