microsoft visual c++ runtime library runtime error c:\windows\expl

[Guest]

I get the following error when trying to access folders in My Documents.

microsoft visual c++ runtime library runtime error c:\windows\explorer.exe
abnormal program termination

I have run virus scans in Safe Mode and didn't pick up any malware/spyware
or virusses.

I am running XP PRO with SP2 which I keep current with all Windows updates.
When I attempt to access folders in Explorer.exe I am now receiving the same
message in a Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library box which says:

"Program C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.exe
Abnormal program termination.

I have done a deep scan of my system for viruses, none have been detected. I
used more than one spyware program to do a deep scan also....no keyloggers or
other spyware have been detected. What is the cause of this problem and how
can it be corrected?

I do not want to do a system restore as I don't know what date this started
on exactly, although it had to have occurred within the last couple of days.
A system restore will impact other programs, so hopefully there is a fix for
this. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

Additional Note: I am using IE 7. I also have the Yahoo Toolbar which some
apparently think has some relationship to this problem, although others do
not.

I have similar error. But I get it when I logged in with second user (one is
already running and I do switch user and connect with another one), Than when
I try to open internet explorer or my computer I get this error:

microsoft visual c++ runtime library
runtime error c:\windows\explorer.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unisusal way.


If I logoff from another user I am able to open internet explorer or my
computer without any error.

Please , advise.

I started getting that error I while ago, maybe a few weeks, but now happens
more frequently. I don't have to even be doing anything in particular, just
in a browser or something and get the error message pop-up from Visual C++
that Explorer.exe failed.

I'm running Vista Home Premium with all the latest updates. I suppose I
should suspect a recent update and uninstall them all, though that's kind of
dangerous too.
